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 cooked gingerbread production method envisages recipe components preparation, preparation of a syrup of sugar and starch molasses, flour scalding with the produced syrup, kneading to produce dough, the dough maintenance for cooling, addition of margarine, soda, carbon-ammonium salt and drinking water, repeated 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 way of clary extraction with liquid nitrogen with corresponding miscella separation, girasol-sunflower preparation, cutting, drying in the microwave field till residual moisture content is equal to nearly 20% with the microwave field intensity providing for girasol-sunflower heating until temperature inside the bits is equal to 80-90°C during no less than 1 hour, frying, impregnation with separated miscella with simultaneous pressure boost, depressurisation till atmospheric value with simultaneous freezing of girasol-sunflower and its cryo-milling in the medium of released nitrogen. Dough is prepared at the following weight ratio of the components: 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: produced cooked gingerbreads have increased volume combined with uniform porosity preservation.
