    EXAMPLE 1

    [0027] (1) In parts by mass, 50 parts of brown rice flour and 50 parts of oat flour and gluten powder (the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder was 25 parts: 25 parts, 20 parts: 30 parts, 15 parts: 35 parts, and 10 parts: 40 parts, respectively), 1.6 parts of salt, 1 part of yeast, and 1 part of improver were weighed to prepare mixed flour.

    [0028] (2) 100 parts of water were added to the mixed flour, stirred at a low speed for 5 min, then stirred at a high speed for 8 min until a dough was basically formed, 6 parts of butter was added and kneaded at a low speed until the gluten was fully developed to obtain a dough.

    [0029] (3) The dough was shaped and plated, and the dough was 250 g after plating.

    [0030] (4) The dough after plating was allowed to rise at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of 38° C. for 1 h, then baked and cooled at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the brown rice and oat bread product, where for the baking, an upper fire temperature was 220° C., a bottom fire temperature was 200° C., and a baking time was 30 min, and the finished brown rice and oat bread was obtained.

    [0031] The related results are shown in Tables 2 and 3. From Table 2, it can be seen that the gluten powder content has a certain improvement effect on the specific volume and structure of the brown rice and oat bread, in which the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder of 15 parts: 35 parts is more effective. At the same time, it can be seen that the brown rice and oat bread with the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder of 15 parts: 35 parts is closest to the control wheat bread in terms of specific volume, hardness, elasticity and recovery. As wheat protein concentrate, the gluten powder contains a large amount of glutenin and gliadin, which has good viscoelasticity and can form a gluten network structure in the dough, while the brown rice and oat protein do not have this property. The addition of gluten powder in the mixed flour makes up for the deficiency of glutenin and gliadin to a certain extent, which can enhance the strength of the mixed flour and form a stronger network structure, thus improving the extension ability and air-holding performance of the dough, thereby increasing the volume and reducing the hardness of the bread. The brown rice and oat bread with the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder of 10 parts: 40 parts has a decreased specific volume and an increased hardness compared with the brown rice and oat bread with the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder of 15 parts: 35 parts, which may be related to the excessive bread strength hindering the height of the rising dough.

    [0032] From the sensory evaluation results in Table 3, it can be seen that the brown rice and oat bread with 25 and 30 parts of gluten powder improves the taste and internal structure of the bread to a certain extent. The bread has a soft and elastic core, increased pores, and more uniform and dense internal structure, in which the brown rice and oat bread with the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder of 15 parts: 35 parts has the highest total sensory evaluation score. Therefore, it is preferred that the ratio of oat flour to gluten powder of 15 parts: 35 parts is used to improve the quality of bread.

    EXAMPLE 2

    [0033] (1) In parts by mass, 50 parts of brown rice flour, 35 parts of gluten powder, 15 parts of oat flour, 1.6 parts of salt, 1 part of yeast, and 1 part of improver were weighed to prepare mixed flour.

    [0034] (2) 100 parts of water were added to the mixed flour, stirred at a low speed for 5 min, then stirred at a high speed for 8 min until a dough was basically formed, 6 parts of butter was added and kneaded at a low speed until the gluten was fully developed to obtain a dough.

    [0035] (3) The dough was shaped and plated, and the dough was 250 g after plating.

    [0036] (4) The dough after plating was respectively allowed to rise at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of 30° C. or 38° C. for 50 min, 60 min and 70 min, then baked and cooled at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the brown rice and oat bread product, where for the baking, an upper fire temperature was 220° C., a bottom fire temperature was 200° C., and a baking time was 30 min.

    [0037] The related results are shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. FIG. 1 shows the brown rice and oat breads prepared by rising at 30° C. for 50 min, 60 min and 70 min. FIG. 3 shows the brown rice and oat breads prepared by rising at 38° C. for 50 min, 60 min and 70 min. It can be found that the specific volume of the bread is small upon using the conventional rising temperature for ordinary bread, because this brown rice and oat bread does not contain sucrose and the general rising temperature is not conducive to gas production from yeast.

    [0038] From FIG. 3, it can be seen that when the fermentation temperature is 38° C., the specific volume of bread reaches the maximum at 60 min of rising time compared with the bread with a rising time of 50 min, this is probably because sufficient rising time allows the gluten protein network structure of the dough to stretch, allows the air-holding performance of the dough to be good, and allows the gas production from yeast to be sufficient, which is conducive to the rapid expansion of the volume of bread in the pre-baking period. When the rising time of the bread is 70 min, the specific volume of the bread is decreased, this is probably because the gluten network structure is destroyed by the excessive gas production from yeast, resulting in the collapse of the bread. In terms of texture, the brown rice and oat bread with a rising time of 60 min is closest to the control wheat bread in terms of hardness, elasticity, chewability and recovery.

    [0039] From the sensory evaluation results in Table 5, it can be seen that the brown rice and oat bread with a rising time of 60 min has the highest total sensory evaluation score. Sufficient rising time allows the bread to be soft, have fine tissue, be elastic, have uniform stomata size on the cut surface and clear texture. Therefore, it is preferred that a rising condition of 38° C. and 60 min is used to improve the quality of bread.

    EXAMPLE 3

    [0040] (1) In parts by mass, 50 parts of brown rice flour, 35 parts of gluten powder, 15 parts of oat flour, several parts of sodium caseinate, 1.6 parts of salt, 1 part of yeast, and 1 part of improver were weighed to prepare mixed flour.

    [0041] (2) 100 parts of water were added to the mixed flour, stirred at a low speed for 5 min, then stirred at a high speed for 8 min until a dough was basically formed, 6 parts of butter was added and kneaded at a low speed until the gluten was fully developed to obtain a dough.

    [0042] (3) The dough was shaped and plated, and the dough was 250 g after plating.

    [0043] (4) The dough after plating was allowed to rise at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of 38° C. for 1 h, then baked and cooled at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the brown rice and oat bread product, where for the baking, an upper fire temperature was 220° C., a bottom fire temperature was 200° C., and a baking time was 30 min.

    [0044] 0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5 parts of sodium caseinate were respectively added to prepare the finished brown rice and oat bread. The related results are shown in Table 6. From Table 6, it can be seen that the specific volume of brown rice and oat bread with the addition of 1.5 and 3 parts of sodium caseinate is increased slightly, which may be related to the ability of sodium caseinate to increase the water absorption of the dough and improve the stirring stability and fermentation stability of the dough; however, the addition of excessive sodium caseinate also results in a decrease in the volume of the bread, which may be related to the fact that excessive sodium caseinate affects the fermentation performance of the yeast. The addition of sodium caseinate helps to improve the odor of bread, which is related to the odor of sodium caseinate itself. In addition, sodium caseinate helps to mask the bitterness of gluten powder in bread. The brown rice and oat bread with the addition of 3 parts of sodium caseinate has the highest total sensory evaluation score. Therefore, it is preferred that the addition of 3 parts of sodium caseinate is used to improve the quality of bread.

    EXAMPLE 4

    [0045] (1) In parts by mass, 50 parts of brown rice flour, 35 parts of gluten powder, 15 parts of oat flour, 3 parts of sodium caseinate, 1.6 parts of salt, 1 part of yeast, and 1 part of improver were weighed to prepare mixed flour.

    [0046] (2) Several parts of water (70, 80, 90 or 100 parts) were added to the mixed flour, stirred at a low speed for 5 min, then stirred at a high speed for 8 min until a dough was basically formed, 6 parts of butter was added and kneaded at a low speed until the gluten was fully developed to obtain a dough.

    [0047] (3) The dough was shaped and plated, and the dough was 190 g after plating.

    [0048] (4) The dough after plating was allowed to rise at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of 38° C. for 1 h, then baked and cooled at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the brown rice and oat bread product, where for the baking, an upper fire temperature was 220° C., a bottom fire temperature was 200° C., and a baking time was 30 min, and the finished brown rice and oat bread was obtained.

    [0049] The related results are shown in FIG. 4, and it can be found that the brown rice and oat bread made according to the general water addition for wheat bread has a small specific volume and firm bread tissue, which is related to the fact that the insufficient water addition allows the dough to have a large hardness and too strong tensile resistance, which is not conducive to the expansion of the dough. As the amount of water added to the bread increases, the specific volume of the bread increases, the core structure of the bread is improved and the stomata are evenly distributed. Therefore, it is preferred that the addition of 100 parts of water is used to improve the quality of bread.

    EXAMPLE 5

    [0050] (1) In parts by mass, 50 parts of brown rice flour, 35 parts of gluten powder, 15 parts of oat flour, several parts of sodium caseinate, 1.6 parts of salt, 1 part of yeast, and 1 part of improver were weighed to prepare mixed flour.

    [0051] (2) 100 parts of water were added to the mixed flour, stirred at a low speed for 5 min, then stirred at a high speed for 8 min until a dough was basically formed, 6 parts of butter was added and kneaded at a low speed until the gluten was fully developed to obtain a dough.

    [0052] (3) The dough was shaped and plated, and the dough was 190 g after plating.

    [0053] (4) The dough after plating was allowed to rise at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of 38° C. for 1 h, then baked and cooled at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the brown rice and oat bread product, where the upper fire temperature, the bottom fire temperature, and the baking time were shown in Table 7.

    [0054] The related results of the finished brown rice and oat bread as prepared under different baking conditions are shown in Table 7. From Table 7, it can be seen that the brown rice and oat bread prepared at a baking temperature for conventional bread is prone to collapse, this is because late starch pasting in the bread is not conducive to the shaping of the bread, leads to excessive expansion of the bread in the pre-baking period and destroys the strength of the network structure of the bread during baking. FIG. 2 shows the brown rice and oat bread prepared with the upper fire temperature of 170° C., the bottom fire temperature of 190° C. and the baking time of 35 min. Compared with the wheat bread with the same baking conditions, this brown rice and oat bread collapsed seriously. FIG. 3 shows the brown rice and oat bread prepared at the upper fire temperature of 220° C., and the bottom fire temperature of 200° C. for the baking time of 30 min, this bread has no obvious collapse. According to the present disclosure, the upper fire temperature is higher than the bottom fire temperature, which is conducive to the rapid outward migration of moisture in the bread, while the high baking temperature helps the bread to quickly expand and shape, allows the obtained crust to be brittle and prevents the bread from collapsing. However, if the baking temperature is too high, the surface color of the bread will turn black and the smell of burnt food will be produced due to the Maillard reaction. Therefore, it is preferred that an upper fire temperature for baking of 220° C., a bottom fire temperature for baking of 200° C., and a baking time of 30 min are used to improve the quality of bread.

    EXAMPLE 6

    [0055] (1) In parts by mass, 50 parts of brown rice flour, 35 parts of gluten powder, 15 parts of oat flour, 3 parts of sodium caseinate, 1.6 parts of salt, 1 part of yeast, and 1 part of improver were weighed to prepare mixed flour.

    [0056] (2) 100 parts of water were added to the mixed flour, stirred at a low speed for 5 min, then stirred at a high speed for 8 min until a dough was basically formed, 6 parts of butter was added and kneaded at a low speed until the gluten was fully developed to obtain a dough.

    [0057] (3) The dough was shaped and plated, and the dough was 250 g after plating.

    [0058] (4) The dough after plating was allowed to rise at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of 38° C. for 1 h, then baked and cooled at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the brown rice and oat bread product, where for the baking, an upper fire temperature was 220° C., a bottom fire temperature was 200° C., and a baking time was 30 min.

    [0059] (5) The subjects were 11 healthy volunteers, including seven females and four males, aged between 22-27 years, with BMI 19-23 kg/m2, regular diet and work and rest habits, no family history of metabolic diseases and chronic diseases, no recent history of medication and gastrointestinal digestive diseases, no smoking and no alcohol. The subjects were fasted for solids and liquids 12 h before the experiment. On the day of the experiment, the subjects walked slowly to the laboratory and were measured for fasting blood glucose concentration by fingertip blood collection. The subjects ate 70 g of brown rice and oat breads within 10 min. The time was recorded at the beginning of the meal and the postprandial blood glucose concentration was measured by fingertip blood collection at 15, 30, 60 and 120 min after the meal. During the experiment, the subjects were fasted for solids and liquids and engaged in light physical activity. The curve showing the change in human postprandial blood glucose concentration was plotted with the time as the horizontal coordinate and the change in blood glucose concentration of the subjects as the vertical coordinate.

    [0060] The changes in human blood glucose concentration after the consumption of brown rice and oat bread prepared by the optimal process are shown in FIG. 5. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the blood glucose concentration is increased slowly after the consumption of brown rice and oat bread as compared to the control wheat bread. The peak postprandial blood glucose for both appears at 30 min. Compared with the wheat bread, the postprandial blood glucose concentration is decreased slowly after reaching the peak blood glucose level for the brown rice and oat bread. This indicates that the brown rice and oat bread induces a small postprandial blood glucose fluctuation and has a strong ability to maintain the dynamic balance of postprandial blood glucose. The GI value of the brown rice and oat bread is 49.
