High fiber and high protein baked goods production

摘要

HIGH FIBER AND HIGH PROTEIN BAKED GOODS PRODUCTION Substantially uniform hydration and dispersion of high amounts of protein and fiber are achieved while avoiding lump formation, hard textures, and off-tastes in the continuous, mass production of high protein and high fiber content sheetable doughs, and baked goods such as crackers, snacks, and cookies made from the sheeted doughs, by hydrating the protein and fiber with water at a temperature below the denaturization temperature of the proteins, and steaming the hydrated mixture without substantial gelatinization of starch during dough production. The steamed, hydrated mass may be admixed with ingredients comprising at least one flour comprising starch to obtain a dough while avoiding substantial gelatinization of starch of the at least one flour during mixing. The baked goods may have a protein content of at least about 4g, a fiber content of at least about 4g, and a whole grain flour content of at least about 4g per 30g serving.
