Substrate-limited, yeast leavened refrigerated dough products and process of making

摘要

Refrigeratable yeast-leavened dough compositions and methods of making such doughs. The dough composition and the strain of yeast are chosen to limit the total leavening action of the yeast by controlling the amount of substrate in the dough fermentable by the yeast. The dough compositions are capable of being leavened at elevated temperatures, yet stored in a sealed container at refrigeration temperatures for extended periods of time. A maltose negative yeast is used and sucrose or the like is added to the dough to serve as a fermentable substrate for the dough; this dough is suitable for storage times of up to 30 days or so or the yeast used in the dough is substantially incapable of fermenting carbohydrates native to the dough and a predetermined quantity of a non-native carbohydrate fermentable by the yeast (e.g. galactose) is added to the dough to provide the desired amount of proofing.
