COOKED GINGERBREAD PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A21D13/08 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to technology for production of flour confectionary products. The method envisages recipe components pre-processing, preparation of a syrup of sugar and starch molasses, flour scalding with the syrup, kneading to produce dough. Dough is maintained for cooling; then one adds margarine, soda, carbon-ammonium salt and drinking water. Then one performs repeated dough kneading, moulding, baking and glazing. For scalding one uses a mixture of wheat flour and girasol-sunflower flour taken at a weight ratio of nearly 8:1. Girasol-sunflower flour is prepared by Star anise extraction with liquid nitrogen to separate corresponding miscella. Girasol is prepared and cut. Then girasol-sunflower is dried in microwave oven till residual moisture content is equal to nearly 20% at microwave field power providing for warming of girasol-sunflower inside the bits till temperature is equal to 80-90°C during at least an hour. Then one performs mixing, impregnation with the separated miscella with simultaneous pressure boost. Pressure is reduced down to atmospheric value with simultaneous freezing of girasol-sunflower. Then one performs cryo-milling in the medium of released nitrogen. Dough is prepared at the following weight ratio of components with accuracy of ± 5%: flour mixture - 547.8, sugar - 252.6, starch molasses - 110.6, margarine - 49.7, soda - 1.68, carbon-ammonium salt - 6.1, water - till the dough moisture content is equal to 23%.

EFFECT: method ensures the target product volume increase combined with its uniform porosity preservation.
