The present invention addresses the problem of providing modified gluten capable of imparting excellent freezing tolerance to a bread dough and a method for manufacturing the modified gluten. Provided is a method for manufacturing modified gluten which comprises a step for heating a solution containing gluten together with an organic acid having two or more carbonyl groups per molecule, said organic acid being used in an amount of 1 part by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of gluten, at 70 C. or higher for 30 minutes or longer.

The subject invention provides unique and novel LOW CARBOHYDRATE HIGH PROTEIN PIZZA BASE. In the first embodiment, said LOW CARBOHYDRATE HIGH PROTEIN PIZZA BASE provides raised, textured pizza base that contain such as but not limited to rice and chicken protein. Other poultry such as but not limited to turkey can be used to replicate said chicken. Uniquely said LOW CARBOHYDRATE HIGH PROTEIN PIZZA BASE is being used as a replacement for traditional high carbohydrate low protein dough used as a pizza base.

Gluten and a plant protein are combined with an aqueous solution to make a dough useful for making either an expanded wafer or a leather snack food product. When compressed between two heated surfaces, the dough flattens while releasing moisture to produce an expanded wafer. The expanded wafers may be cut into shapes and/or topped with various snack food toppings to make either sweet or savory snack food products. The wafers may also be used to make a sandwich-type snack food using at least two wafers with a filling in between. Alternatively, the expanded wafer be infused with flavoring solutions to form leather snack food products.
