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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves recipe components pre-processing, preparation of a syrup of sugar and molasses, the syrup mixing with flour, melange, soda and carbon-ammonium salt, dough kneading, moulding, baking and glazing; one uses a mixture of wheat flour and dandelion roots flour taken at their weight ratio equal to nearly 8:1. Dandelion roots flour is prepared by jeera extraction with liquid nitrogen to separate corresponding miscella, dandelion roots cutting, drying in the microwave field till residual moisture content is equal to nearly 20% with the microwave field intensity providing for dandelion roots heating until temperature inside the bits is equal to 80-90°C during no less than 1 hour, additional drying by convective method till residual moisture content is equal to nearly 5%, impregnation with separated miscella with simultaneous pressure boost, depressurisation till atmospheric value with simultaneous freezing of dandelion roots and their cryo-grinding in the medium of released nitrogen. Dough is prepared at the following components weight ratio with an accuracy of ±5%: flour mixture - 557.2, sugar - 364, molasses - 56.9, melange - 25.9, soda - 1.54, carbon-ammonium salt - 5.38, water - till the dough moisture content is equal to 23%.

EFFECT: produced gummy gingerbreads have increased volume combined with uniform porosity preservation.
