Substantially uniform hydration and dispersion of high amounts of protein and fiber are achieved while avoiding lump formation, hard textures, and off-tastes in the continuous, mass production of high protein and high fiber content sheetable doughs, and baked goods such as crackers, snacks, and cookies made from the sheeted doughs, by hydrating the protein and fiber with water at a temperature below the denaturization temperature of the proteins, and steaming the hydrated mixture without substantial gelatinization of starch during dough production. The steamed, hydrated mass may be admixed with ingredients comprising at least one flour comprising starch to obtain a dough while avoiding substantial gelatinization of starch of the at least one flour during mixing. The baked goods may have a protein content of at least about 4 g, a fiber content of at least about 4 g, and a whole grain flour content of at least about 4 g per 30 g serving.

A composition comprising a whole grain with hydrolyzed starch. Although the starch can shift from relatively higher molecular weight moieties to relatively lower molecular weight moieties during hydrolysis, the relative proportions of the principal anatomical components of the caryopses of the grain—the starchy endosperm, germ and bran—remain approximately the same as evinced, for example, by the weight percentages and relative mass ratios of starch, fat, protein, dietary fiber, beta-glucan, and sugar in the composition. Additionally, the whole grain composition can be a powder, for example, a flour, and the whole grain composition can be granulated to a desired size to provide a powder that is highly dispersible in liquid. When gelatinized, hydrated and dispersed in a liquid, the whole grain with hydrolyzed starch can have a lower viscosity, grittiness, and graininess compared to the same variety of whole grain with unhydrolyzed starch.

Described are uncooked batters that have been effectively pasteurized and have no gelatinized starch. These batters are characterized as having low viscosity, a water activity of greater than 0.90, the absence of an active leavening agent, and a total plate count of less than 1000 per gram. There are two methods of manufacturing these pasteurized uncooked batters. One method uses irradiated flour and sterile aqueous liquid to make a pasteurized flour slurry; the other method uses a process of treating the whole grain at temperature and time conditions such that the exterior of grain is pasteurized followed by wet milling of the whole grain in a sterile aqueous liquid such that the slurry passes through a 20 mesh screen. In both methods, the farinaceous material remains uncooked and the starch has not been gelatinized. The pasteurized aqueous flour slurries, are then added to the pasteurized remaining ingredients of the batter in a sterile environment. Refrigerated Ready-to-Bake batters can be made by the addition of gas upon dispensing the batter from a container having the batter and a compressed gas such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or nitrogen.
