Dough preforms, baked products and methods of making such products include typical dough ingredients and starch hydrolysates therein for adjusting and controlling the hardness texture of the dough when it is baked to intermediate water activity levels. The starch hydrolysates have a D.E (Dextrose Equivalent) of about 42 or less, and preferably 10-20, and are present in amounts of at least about 8 weight percent of the total weight of the dough ingredients, and preferably 14-20 weight percent, The doughs containing the starch hydrolysates may be laminated with another dough which, when baked, is soft and chewy to produce baked products which exhibit substantial textural dichotomies. The textural characteristics of all of the aforementioned baked doughs are shelf stable. |
