DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following examples set forth preferred products in accordance with the present invention. It is to be understood, however, that these examples are provided by way of illustration and nothing therein should be taken as a limitation upon the overall scope of the invention.

For Examples 1-11, the following mixing and baking procedures were used. All dry ingredients were blended together until thoroughly incorporated. All liquid ingredients were added and the dough mixed for one minute on low speed using a Hobart A200 mixer (Hobart Corp.) With a spiral dough hook, and then mixed for 2-2.5 minutes on high speed. The mixing was relatively minimal to prevent excessive development and excessively tough and rubbery bread. The dough scaling weight followed a pan factor of 2.00-2.05. The dough scaling weight (in ounces) was determined by dividing the area (in square inches) of the top of the bread pan by the pan factor. The dough was proofed at 110° F. with a relative humidity of 85%. The dough was baked at 390° F. for 37-42 minutes.

In this Example 12, all dry ingredients were blended together until completely uniform. Liquid ingredients were added next and mixed for 1 minute on low and 5.5 minutes on high speed using Hobart mixer (Hobart Corp.) equipped with a spiral dough hook. Dough scaling weight followed a pan factor of 2.05. The dough weight was determined by dividing the area (in square inches) of the top of the bread pan by 2.05. The dough was proofed at 110° F. and 85% relative humidity, and then baked at 400° F. for 25 minutes.

In this Example 13, all dry ingredients were blended together until completely homogeneous. Water was added to blended ingredients and mixed to optimum development using a Hobart mixer (Hobart Corp.). About 4.3 ounces of bagel dough was weighed, proofed briefly, and baked in an oven (with steam) at 390° F. for 17-22 minutes.

This French Cruller doughnut is an example of a chemically leavened, fried product according to the invention. All ingredients (except the water and eggs) were mixed until uniform. Hot water (125-130° F.) was added and the batter mixed on low speed for 30 seconds. The mixer speed was increased to medium and the batter mixed an additional two minutes, at which time the eggs were added and the batter mixed on low speed for one minute. The batter was mixed an additional three minutes on medium speed. The temperature of the batter was between 85-90° F. The doughnuts were fried for 2¾ minutes on the first side, then turned and fried for three minutes on the second side, and finally turned again and fried for 15 seconds.

In the chocolate cake donut formula (a chemically-leavened, fried product according to the invention), the emulsifier and sugar were creamed together. All dry ingredients were then incorporated to the creamed sugar mixture for 10 minutes at speed 2 in a Kitchen Aid mixer (Hobart Corp.) equipped with a paddle. Water at 81° F. was added and mixed for one minute at speed 1 and at speed 2 for one minute and 35 seconds. The quantity of water ranged from 46-48% of the dry mix weight. The batter temperature was between 76-78° F. The batter was rested for 6 minutes at room temperature, and then fried for one minute each side.

This blueberry muffin mix is an example of a chemically-leavened, baked product according to the present invention. The sugar, salt, and shortening were blended together until uniform. The remaining ingredients (except for the eggs and water) were added and mixed until uniform. The eggs were added along with half of the water and the batter was mixed in a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Then, the remaining water was added and the batter mixed on low speed for an additional 2 minutes. The blueberries were gently folded into the batter which was then poured into muffin cups. Baking time and temperature will largely depend upon muffin size, however, generally, a 75 gram muffin will be baked at 400° F. for 20 minutes.

This pound cake is an example of a chemically-leavened, baked product according to the present invention. All ingredients (except for the eggs and water) were blended together until uniform. The water was added and the batter mixed until smooth. The eggs were then added in three stages and mixed until the batter was uniform and fluffy. The cake was baked at 375° F. for 45-50 minutes.

This chocolate cake is an example of a chemically-leavened, baked product according to the present invention. All ingredients (except for the water) were blended together until uniform. Next, 60% of the water was added and the batter mixed on medium speed for 3 minutes. The bowl was scraped, the remaining water was added, and the batter mixed on low speed for 2-3 minutes. The batter was poured into pans and baked at 400° F. until the center was done.

This yellow or white cake is an example of a chemically-leavened, baked product according to the present invention. All ingredients (except for the water and eggs) were blended together until uniform. Sixty percent of the water was added and the batter mixed for 3 minutes on medium speed. The eggs were added and the batter mixed on medium speed for 3 minutes. The remaining water was added and the batter mixed for an additional 2-3 minutes on low speed. The cake was baked at 350° F. for 20 minutes, or until the center was done.

This chocolate chip cookie is an example of a chemically-leavened, baked product according to the present invention. All ingredients (except for the pastry flour) were blended on low speed for approximately 3 minutes. The pastry flour was added and the dough mixed for an additional minute on low speed. Chocolate chips were then added at a desired amount and the dough mixed until the chips were uniformly distributed. The dough was made into balls and baked at 370-380° F. for 10-12 minutes.

The ingredients for fried pie crust were blended together and mixed until uniform. The dough was then formed, filled and deep fried in 350° F. oil until golden brown (approximately 3-4 minutes).

The dry ingredients for pie dough were blended together until uniform. The shortening was blended in on low speed for 1-1.5 minutes. Then, the cold water was added and the dough mixed for an additional 30 seconds on low speed. Finally, the dough was formed into pie crust.

The dough was proofed for 30 minutes (110° F. and 85% relative humidity) and then the dough formed into the desired shape. The dough was allowed to rest for 5 minutes and was then immersed in 0.25% sodium hydroxide solution at 185-190° F. for 25 seconds. The dough was baked at 475-500° F. for 3 minutes and then at 400-425° F. for 3.5 minutes. The pretzels were placed in a drying oven for 30 minutes at 220-300° F.

All dry ingredients were blended together until uniform and processed conventionally in a single- or twin-screw extruder to make a fruit loop-type product. Moisture was added in the conditioner as well as from the steam injected into the barrel.

High Protein Whole Wheat Bread (Sponge and Dough)

This example describes preparation of a sponge and dough bread according to the present invention. The respective formulations are as follows:

The sponge ingredients were first mixed for one minute on low speed, and then mixed for an additional minute on high speed. The sponge was then allowed 3 hours of fermentation time. In preparation of the dough, all of the dough ingredients were added to the sponge and mixed for one minute at low speed followed by one minute of mixing at high speed. The dough was allowed 5 minutes of floor time, and then the dough was scaled to the desired weight. The dough was proofed for 45 minutes at a temperature between 106°-110° F. The dough was baked at 390° F., with steam, for 36 minutes.

All dry ingredients were mixed together and the water was added. The dough was mixed for one minute at low speed and 9½ minutes at medium speed in a Hobart mixer (Hobart Corp.) equipped with a dough hook. The dough was allowed to rest for one hour at room temperature. The dough was divided into pieces and allowed to rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Dough pieces were rolled out and cut to desired weight with a donut cutter. The dough was proofed at 95-115° F. for 25-35 minutes. The donuts were fried at 375° F. for 45-60 seconds each side.

In this Example 28, the dry ingredients were mixed for 2 minutes at low speed in a Hobart mixer (Hobart Corp.) equipped with a paddle. Then, the shortening was added and mixed for another 6 minutes at low speed. Water at 95° F. was added and mixed using a hook attachment for 1 minute at low speed and 4 minutes at medium speed. The dough was rested for 5 minutes in a proofing cabinet at 92-95° F. and 70% relative humidity. After 5 minutes, dough balls were formed using a divider/rounder. The dough balls were rested again in the proofing cabinet (92-95° F. and 70% relative humidity) for 10 minutes. Then, a hot press was used to press the dough balls into disks. The top and bottom platens of the hot press were set at 743° F. with a dwell time of 1.35 seconds and pressure of 1100 psi. The disks were baked in a three-tier oven (350-360° F.) for 30 seconds. The tortillas were then allowed to cool for 1.5 minutes, and placed inside a low-density polyethylene bag.
