This paper studied the optimization of bread production in Alheri Bread Danja, Katsina State, Nigeria, using Simplex algorithm of linear programming. The method was used to allocate raw materials to competing variables (large bread, medium bread and small bread) in bakery for the purpose of profit maximization. The analysis was carried out and the result showed that 0 unit of small bread, 0 unit of medium bread and 64.5506 units of large bread should be produced respectively in order to make a profit of ₦4518.5393. From the analysis, it was observed that only large bread contributes objectively to the profit. Hence, more of large bread is needed to be produced and sold so as to maximize the profit.
