The invention concerns dough as well as a process for the preparation of dry bakery products, particularly crackers, comprising the addition to the dough of a bakery ingredient prepared by fermentation of cereal germs with lactic acid producing bacteria. The fermentation is preferably carried out with Lactobacilli, such as Lactobacillus plantarum. During the fermentation yeast and/or enzymes such as proteases and carbohydrases may be added to the fermentation mixture. After the fermentation the mixture is preferably concentrated or converted into a dry product which can be easily shipped stored and handled. The use of the bakery ingredient leads to a simplified and shorter process for preparing dry cereal products and improved product properties. For cracker manufacture the traditional sponge step can be omitted. |
