An object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing rice flour bread having food texture equal to or better than that of wheat flour bread or gluten-added rice flour bread without using gluten and thickener, and a method of producing dough thereof. The method of producing rice flour bread dough according to the present invention includes a cooling step, a yeast-containing basic dough preparation step and a bread dough preparation step. In the cooling step, rice flour and water are individually cooled to prepare cold rice flour and cold water. In the yeast-containing basic dough preparation step, cold rice flour and cold water are mixed to prepare basic dough, and then yeast is added to the basic dough to prepare yeast-containing basic dough, or cold rice flour, cold water and yeast are mixed to prepare yeast-containing basic dough. In the rice flour bread dough preparation step, yeast-containing basic dough is kneaded to prepare rice flour bread dough. After fermenting this rice flour bread dough to prepare fermented dough, rice flour bread according to the present invention is produced by heating the fermented dough.

A yeast-containing dough that is used to form a leavened dough product having a desired degree of leavening is initially formed as two separate dough subcomponents that, when combined, leavens through a fermentation reaction process to form a dough having the desired degree of leavening. The first dough subcomponent includes a leavening activator, flour, salt and water, while the second dough component includes a biological leavening agent, flour, and water. When combined, the leavening agent reacts in the presence of the biological leavening activator through a fermentation process to form the dough having a desired degree of leavening, which can then be heated to a temperature exceeding a viability temperature of the leavening activator to terminate the fermentation process and form the leavened dough product. The dough can also be combined with at least one non-dough component to form the leavened dough product.

A food material powder supply device 1 of the disclosure includes a supply tank 50 that temporarily stores food material powder in a tank 50A and supplies the food material powder to a processing container 2A of a food processing machine 2, a vacuum device 70 that reduces the pressure inside the supply tank 50 with vacuum pumps 71A and 71B, and a control device 3 that operates the vacuum device 70 to reduce the internal pressure of the supply tank 50 to be equal to or lower than a predetermined atmospheric pressure at which moisture of the food material powder is evaporated and cools the food material powder in the supply tank 50. A stirring member 54 which is driven to rotate during the cooling of the food material powder is arranged inside the tank 50A.

A bread product and method of manufacturing the artisan bread product that eliminates or reduces the need to proof dough after thawing is discussed. One example method comprises mixing ingredients to create a dough, bulk fermenting the dough to create a non-uniform cell structure and to eliminate or reduce proofing after receipt by a restaurant, sheeting the dough, a sheeter being adjusted to allow dough sheeting while substantially maintaining the cell structure, portioning the sheeted dough into portions according to desired sizes while substantially maintaining the cell structure, freezing the portions to create frozen portions, and packaging and shipping the frozen portions while substantially maintaining the cell structure, the bulk fermenting of the dough prior to the sheeting thereby enabling, at least in part, a restaurant to receive the frozen portions, to retard thawed portions of dough, and to bake the portions of dough after retarding without proofing.

A flour product whitener containing polysaccharide alcohol. When the flour product whitener is used in a flour product, the amount of the polysaccharide alcohol is 0.01-10 parts by mass in every 100 parts by mass of total flour in the flour product.

A method and system for regulating the reaction rate of leavening agents in a dough product is described. The method and system include adding a regulating agent to a leavening system to manipulate the rate of reaction of the leavening agents in the dough.

A molding machine 1 is provided, which molds a gyoza wrapper by rolling a gyoza wrapper material lump. A first roller 12 rolls the gyoza wrapper material lump vertically downward to form an approximately elliptical semi-finished product. A direction changing device 30 including a pendulum 31 is positioned vertically below the first roller 12. The pendulum 31 includes a fulcrum portion 314 and an edge receiving portion 311 positioned closer to the central portion side of the first roller 12 than a position immediately below the fulcrum portion 31, which receives the front edge of the semi-finished product. When the semi-finished product is received by the edge receiving portion 311, the pendulum 31 changes the direction of the semi-finished product. A second roller 22 positioned vertically below the first roller 12 then rolls the semi-finished product vertically downward, so as to form a gyoza wrapper.

A pressurized dough system includes a package defining an interior volume and a refrigerated developed dough product within the interior volume. The refrigerated developed dough product includes flour, water and pectin in an amount sufficient to substantially increase the internal pressure of the pressurized package as well as the bake specific volume of the dough.

The invention provides methods for the production of dough and bread products made at least in part of spent brewer's grain. The spent grain is removed from a brewing or distilling process, dried, frozen, and then further processed into a spent grain dough product. More specifically, the invention relates to the systems and methods for making frozen pizza dough balls composed at least in part of grain products that have been used in the process of brewing beer or distilling sprits such as whiskey.

The present invention discloses a method for the preparation of ready-to-cook frozen dough products. The method comprises preparing a dough made of flour, water and yeast, and optional additives; portioning the dough to product sizes; making up the dough to desired sizes, shapes and ornamental configurations; freezing the dough; subjecting the dough to at least one freeze-thaw cycling; and refreezing the dough. Dough products are cooked directly from their frozen states to produce finished goods. Dough and cooked articles using the present invention have quality characteristics comparable to those made using conventional fermentation and proofing prior to cooking.
