Rebake: Innovative Model for Reuse of Leftover Pastry Dough

High school students in Slovenia are making a difference in pitching great business ideas in the sector of zero waste food products. In this year competition Junior Achivment Slovenia for best student business idea, a great innovative food product popped out -  reBake pastry shells that are produces from leftover pastry dough.

The pastry shells can be filled with savoury our sweet fillings and be ready in a minute for an appetizers, snack or finger food.

The team of four high school students (future food engineers)  stumble upon the idea when thinking about all the leftover dough when producing pies and other pastries. Together with their teachers they have started to optimize the process of reusing the already baked dough in the form of pasty shells. They are getting the main ingredient – leftover puff pastry from the nearby bakery. The production is going on in the school pastry shop, where the reBake pastry shells are already available for buying.
