Abstract
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing dry baked products in the form of ready-for-use pieces. In the process of the invention, a baked bread sheet is divided into ready-for-use pieces while the starch of the bread sheet is in elastic state, the bread sheet remaining continuous, and the hardened ready-for-use pieces are separated from one another. The invention also relates to products obtained in this manner and by processing them further. Typical products of the invention comprise crispbreads, torn rusks, like thin crispbreads, torn breadrings dried on a bread pole, and baked snacks. The invention also relates to high-fiber baked snack products.
Claims8
A process for the manufacture of dry baked products in the form of ready-for-use pieces, comprising the steps of:
- (i) preparing a dough sheet;
- (ii) docking said dough sheet;
- (iii) baking said dough sheet after step (ii) to obtain a baked bread sheet;
- (iv) dividing said baked bread sheet into ready-for-use pieces while starch in said baked bread sheet is in an elastic state, by using a patterning device provided with blades, said blades pressing into said continuous baked bread sheet in the elastic state in such a manner that said blades penetrate the surface of said continuous baked bread sheet substantially all the way through the baked bread sheet, such that said baked bread sheet remains substantially continuous, to obtain a continuous baked bread sheet divided into ready-for-use pieces;
- and
- (v) hardening said continuous baked bread sheet divided into ready-for-use pieces such that the ready-for-use pieces are caused to separate from one another.
