One variation of a multilayer edible food carrier includes a brittle edible layer formed of a first batter comprising: a volume of a base mixture including water, salt, grain flour, fat, and lecithin; a volume of gas dispersed throughout the volume of the base mixture; and a volume of oil absorbed by the first batter within a cook chamber configured to transform the first batter into the brittle edible layer. The multilayer edible food carrier further includes a soft edible layer: nested within the brittle edible layer in an assembled configuration; and formed of a second batter comprising water, a fat blend comprising cheese dissolved in water, an amount of grain flour, an amount of starches, an amount of baking powder, an amount of an emulsifying agent, an amount of dairy milk, an amount of fat, an amount of sweeteners, and an amount of flavoring agents.

The present invention relates to a method for creating a inverted puff pastry dough or croissant dough, comprising the steps of:

A. Creating a laminate extending in a length ad a width direction by: A1. Providing a first layer of a mixture of fat such as margarine or butter and flour or starch on a substrate; A2. Providing at least one layer of dough on top of the mixture; A4. Providing a second layer of a mixture of dough and flour or starch on top of the dough layer;

C. Cutting the thus obtained laminate in the width direction, as to obtain multiple laminate pieces;

D. Stacking the laminate pieces in a partly-overlapping manner in the length direction, while essentially outlining them in the width direction; and

E. Rolling the stack a first time in a rolling direction in or against the length direction, thus obtaining a inverted puff pastry dough or croissant dough.

Provided herein are compositions with enhanced protein content, compositions with functional proteins, protein combinations and methods for the preparation thereof.

A packaged refrigerated gluten-free dough composition comprises at least one gluten-free flour source in at least 35% by weight of the composition, at least one starch source in at least 2% by weight of the composition and at least one protein source in about 0.5% to 13% by weight of the composition and at least 17 grams of glutamic acid per 100 grams of the protein, at least one fat source from 4% to 10% by weight of the composition and water from 25% to 35% by weight of the composition. The dough has an average storage modulus ranging from about 45 kPa to about 60 kPa at about 40° F. and an average loss modulus ranging from about 10 kPa to about 20 kPa at about 40° F. after at least 24 hours of storage at about 40° F., and is substantially free of gluten protein.

The present invention relates to a microalgae-based egg substitute for, according to an embodiment, reducing the fat and sugar content of a food product incorporating same. The invention also relates to the method for obtaining the microalgae-based egg substitute, comprising steps of adding various components including a microalgae product. Finally, the invention also relates to the use of the egg substitute in a food product, a method for incorporating the egg substitute into the preparation of a food product, and the food product comprising the egg substitute.

A composition with ingredients of vegetable origin and chemical yeasts, in powder form, and their use to replace eggs in natura in the preparation of bakery and confectionery products. The ingredients are ground whole golden flaxseed, pea protein, pea starch, calcium diphosphate, monocalcium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate.

The breadmaking product free of gluten and lactose includes a main dough with: water; tapioca starch; rice flour; corn starch; sunflower oil; egg white; enzyme-active soy flour; fresh yeast; dextrose; salt; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; psyllium husk fibre; xanthan gum; and a mother dough with millet flour and/or sorghum, and amaranth, salt and bacteria, fermented for 16 hours at 28° C. and matured for 24 hours at 5° C. The product is produced by mixing water, the mother dough, the oil and the egg white in a mixer for five minutes at a speed of 45 RPM, with the rest of the ingredients for three minutes at 45 RPM, and with the yeast for five minutes at 90 RPM. Each bread is shaped and left to ferment at 24° C. with 90% humidity, baked at 180° C. and cooled at 8° C.

A method of reducing oil and/or fat uptake of a fried food comprises the steps of: A) contacting food i) with a batter comprising starch and a cellulose ether or ii) with a breading composition comprising a cellulose ether or iii) first with a batter comprising starch and then with a breading composition comprising a cellulose ether, B) contacting the battered or breaded food obtained in step A) with an aqueous liquid being different from the batter and breading composition in step A), C) optionally freezing the battered or breaded food obtained in step B), and D) frying the battered or breaded food obtained in step B) or C).

Ingredients include tapioca starch, tigernut flour, and cassava flour OR almond flour, fruit power, or dried fruit, or spices of ginger, nutmeg, cloves, or cocoa powder or chocolate chips, and/or tree nuts, cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon spice, pure powder vanilla, pure V50% mongroside monk fruit powder.

For each mix, start with tapioca starch that serves as a “binder” for the grain free flours. Tigernut flour is added to each mix to prevent finished product from being gummy and not bready. Add Cassava flour or Almond flour to create two different mixes with carbohydrate alternatives.

To each mix, add cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt, pure powdered vanilla (no fillers), cinnamon spice (do not add to chocolate mix), V50% mongroside powered monk fruit. Add desired dried fruit powder, dried fruit, or spices to include cloves, ginger and nutmeg, or cocoa powder, and/or chocolate chips, and/or tree nuts or no nuts.

To improve the storage property, heat-resistance and temporal stability of flour paste, and decrease the costs for the transport, storage and production of the flour paste. The present invention provides a powder composition for preparing flour paste containing processed starch, unprocessed starch, whey protein and thickener at predetermined amounts.
