A bread making method includes providing an automatic bread maker; providing a bread ingredient box and putting bread ingredients into a first accommodating room and packaging; placing an outer wall of the bread ingredient box face down on a hanging rack provided with a sawtooth blade above a baking pan inside the automatic break maker, causing the sawtooth blade to pierce the outer wall of the bread ingredient box and allowing the bread ingredients to drop into a stock bin for temporary storage, controlling covers of the stock bin to open as required, causing at least some of the bread ingredients to drop into the baking pan and adding water; processing the bread ingredients and the water into a working dough by mixing, stirring and kneading, to provide a first dough; resting, fermenting and degassing the first dough; heating and baking the first dough in the baking pan.

The invention relates to a process and to a device for producing a pore-containing foodstuff, the matrix of which enclosing the pores contains starch. The process is characterized in that the dough is flowable, is admixed with pressure gas and is expanded through a nozzle into an adjacent flow-through channel so that the raw dough containing pressure gas foams in the flow-through channel. For warming of the foamed dough the flow-through channel has a section which is directly adjacent and has at least two electrodes arranged on its circumference for applying current to the foamed dough.

A large-scale multifunctional rice noodle making machine, along the direction of materials delivery comprises sequentially a rice lifting machine inlet, a rice lifting machine, a fermenter, a rice feeder, a rice-flour outlet, an auxiliary ingredients machine, a continuously mixing and conveying machine, an outlet, a self-ripening and shaping machine, a hot water circulation tank, a rice-flour feeder, an extruding machine, a conveyor of aging machine, a fan, an aging machine, a first noodle loosen machine, a noodle steamer, an out-feed channel, a second noodle loosen machine, a conveyor, an inlet, an inner packaging machine, a conveyor I, a weighing scale, a metal detector, a conveyor II, a sterilizer, and a rice noodle collector. The present invention relates to a large-scale multifunction rice noodle machine, which can automatically and efficiently produce a variety of rice noodles, such as fermented and non-fermented rice noodles.

A feed roller is formed with a generally cylindrical outer surface having raised portions arranged in a pattern that extends circumferentially around the surface. The raised portions are formed in distinct shapes. Preferably the distinct shapes are chevron shapes that retain dough between successive chevron shapes. The roller preferably has an annular ridge which prevents dough from escaping axially off the edge of the roller. In use, dough is feed between the feed roller and a mold roller. Some of the dough is retained on the outer cylindrical surface of the feed roller to provide a smooth surface for inserting the rest of the dough in mold cavities located in the mold roller.

The automatic bread maker has case 23 for accommodating bread-making material, heater for heating case, and temperature detector for detecting the temperature of case. The automatic bread maker further has pulverizing and mixing section and controller. Pulverizing/mixing section is disposed on bottom of case. While rotating, it pulverizes and mixes the material in case. Controller controls heater and pulverizing and mixing section according to the temperature of case. Controller governs a pulverizing step for producing rice paste from the material and a mixing step for mixing the rice paste after the pulverizing step. In the pulverizing step, pulverizing and mixing section rotates in a rotation speed range the same as that in the mixing step. The structure suppresses friction heat produced in pulverizing rice grains. This suppresses gelatinization of rice starch, providing rice paste with stable viscosity.

The invention relates to a method, a control and/or regulating device, a device and products as well as the use of such products. It is shown how gas-foamed products are manufactured from doughs or from pastes in an elongated process space and how the static pressure required for the gas dissolution is maintained in the process space up to the outlet opening and the foaming in the dough or in the paste is not initiated in a targeted manner under predetermined process conditions until the product exits from a metering valve device connected downstream of the process space and the pressure is reduced.

Apparatuses and methods for preparation of breads are described. The apparatuses include a press unit that can receive a dough ball and flatten the dough ball. The press unit includes a top plate and a bottom plate, each of which is in an inclined arrangement. The top plate swivels towards and away from the bottom plate. A dough ball is flattened between the top plate and the bottom plate. The bottom plate is heated, thereby heating a first face of the flattened dough in contact with the bottom plate. A flipper connected to at least one of the top plate and the bottom plate guides the flattened dough to a heated cooking surface. The guiding enables a second face of the flattened dough to come in contact with the cooking surface, thereby heating the flattened dough and forming the bread.

Systems and methods describe improvements in the automated production of meat analogues. Ingredients are provided, including oil, water, binding agent(s), and one or more forms of protein to be separately and continuously conveyed through a facility. Concurrently to the ingredients being conveyed through the facility, a number of actions occur. The system emulsifies the oil, water, and binding agent(s) within an emulsifying machine to form a final emulsion. A hydration process is separately applied to at least one of the forms of protein. The system mixes and conveys the protein(s) with the final emulsion in a final mixer to form a final dough.
