Description

A FILLED BAKERY PRODUCT

Description

Technical Field

This invention relates to a bakery food product.

Background Art For snack consumers, the ideal snack must be at once pleasant to the taste but not harmful to health.

Potato crisps, for example, are commonly eaten as appetizers to please the palate. However, although potato crisps are very pleasant to the taste, they are high in fat on account of the oils and other fats used to cook them and consequently low in nutritional value and detrimental to good health.

Baked snacks based on flour, especially wheat flour, are also known. These snacks, although more wholesome in many respects, are less appetizing than potato crisps and therefore not as popular among consumers.

According to another aspect, the need is felt for a food product that is not only pleasant to the taste but also possesses specific and useful dietetic properties.

Summary of the Invention

The invention therefore provides a bakery product characterised in that it comprises an outside layer based on flour and an inside layer of filling. The snack obtained in this way is particularly wholesome because it does not need to be cooked in oil and, thanks to the filling, is very pleasant to the taste.

The invention also provides a process for making a flour-based bakery product characterised in that an outside layer based on flour is combined with an inside layer of filling.

After pre-mixing, water is added to mix the ingredients into a dough at a working step 26 for the outside layer and at a working step 28 for the inside layer.

For both the inside and outside layers, the step of mixing the ingredients into a dough lasts 11 to 17 minutes, preferably around 14 minutes and preferably at a temperature under 32° C.

The water is added to the mixture preferably at a temperature of around 4°C. For this purpose, the water for mixing the dough is drawn directly from a suitable cooling device.

Once mixed, the ingredients of both the outside layer 12 and of the inside layer 14 must have the consistency of a thick dough.

The dough for the inside layer and the dough for the outside layer are conveyed to a moulding section 30 where the dough of the inside layer 14 is extruded inside the dough of the outside layer 12 in such a way as to form a continuous rod or "worm" of product which is then cut into suitable lengths in order to separate from the continuous rod respective "slugs" of predetermined length, where the inside layer 14 is completely surrounded by the outside layer 12.

In the process according to the invention, the product is leavened.

The leavening of both the outside and inside layers begins as soon as the two types of dough of the respective layers are mixed at the aforementioned steps 26, 28.

Leavening is completed after the slugs have been formed, however, by allowing them to rise for 10 to 30 minutes, preferably for about 10 minutes, preferably at a temperature of 35⁰C, in a suitable leavening chamber.

The leavening step is represented by the block labelled 32 in Figure 2. The reference numeral 34 denotes a subsequent step of baking the slugs in an oven, while the reference numeral 36 denotes a step of packing the slugs in appropriate packages after allowing them to cool for approximately 15 minutes.

The baking step comprises a first stage of baking at a temperature of between 185° and 250°C, preferably at a temperature of around 230⁰C for a length of time of between 5 and 20 minutes, preferably about 10 minutes.

The baking step also comprises a second stage of baking at a temperature of between 190° and 200⁰C, preferably at a temperature of around 195⁰C which is reached after 5 to 10 minutes, preferably after about 7 minutes.

The total baking time is between 22 and 35 minutes, preferably between 29 and 32 minutes.

Further, at the beginning of the first baking stage, steam is applied to the product for about 5 seconds in order to soften the outside layer of the product so as to avoid cracking during the baking process.

Initially, the product is baked in a closed chamber, that is to say, with the oven doors closed, for a length of time of between 5 and 15 minutes, preferably 8 minutes, in order to retain product moisture, while for the rest of the baking time

5 of between 17 and 27 minutes, preferably 24 minutes, the oven doors are left open in order to facilitate evaporation of product moisture.

For baking the chocolate-based extruded product, on the other hand, the baking step 34 comprises a first baking stage at a temperature of between 175° and 230°C, preferably at a temperature of around 210°C for a length of time of o between 3 and 15 minutes, preferably around 12 minutes.

This is followed by a second baking stage at a temperature of between 175° and 190⁰C, preferably at a temperature of around 180⁰C which is reached after 5 to 10 minutes, preferably after about 8 minutes.

The total baking time is between 15 and 25 minutes, preferably 20 minutes. 5 Obviously, steam is also applied to the chocolate-based product for about 5 seconds at the beginning of the first baking stage and the product is initially baked with the oven doors closed, for a length of time of between 5 and 15 minutes, preferably around 12 minutes and then with the oven doors open for a length of time of between 5 and 10 minutes, preferably around 8 minutes. o Other respective flavourings and, if necessary, an additional leaving agent may also be added to the above mentioned dough mixtures.
