Solar Bakers just finished a two year pilot evaluation proving that our technology and the sun are capable of baking profitable and sustainable throughout the year under almost all weather conditions
During this evaluation we baked and dried rusks in hybrid solar ovens and commercial solar dehydrators
We delivered our rusks country wide, which proved a massive demand for solar baked products
Tests have indicated that we could double the minimum wage in South Africa with one oven
This led to the worlds first commercially solar baked biscotti
Solar Bakers has taken the progressive decision to expand the bakery as a community project.
A new solar bakery station is currently being tested, which combines evacuated tube baking (first baking process) with solar solar box baking (second baking process) to be able to produce a superior and unique solar baked biscotti for the international hospitality industry. This will be the only community driven solar baked biscotti in the world as it ticks all the boxes to be able to stimulate the badly damaged tourism industry again.
The individually packed Solar Bakers double baked biscotti is so advanced in taste, texture and technology, that you will hardly believe it comes from Africa. In the driest and most remote Northern Cape Province of South Africa, we harvest the sun and the few unique ingredients of our area to bring you the worlds only solar, sour dough baked biscotti with stone milled certified organic flour. With no pollution, clean natural borehole water, more than 40km away from the nearest settlement you will just have to dip your biscotti and offer your partner a taste of the sun too.
What makes solar baking unique?
♥ We can only bake where and when the sun shines
♥ Our baking process, which influences the taste, texture and uniqueness of our biscotti, changes from day to day and season to season. You will always taste something slightly different
♥ We have to plan days, weeks and even months ahead
♥ We bake in pans with lids, keeping the taste inside
♥ We have to wear UV protection for extreme weather conditions as we operate mostly in the sun
♥ We bake at slightly lower temperatures, thus producing little crispier biscotti or rusk
♥ Every time you eat a Solar Bakers biscotti, you do your tiny bit to make our planet a better place
Going green has never been so impressive, innovative and delicious
