Process for preparing filled cracker products

Provided is a process for preparing filled cracker snacks containing a creamy, lubricious low Aw, and bake stable filler encased within crisp oven-baked cracker with efficiency and consistency despite the difficult rheology of the filler. In a first step, a smooth textured, bakable filling is prepared comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a solids phase by a process comprising blending the ingredients and mixing with high shear to form a homogeneous filler having a viscosity of greater than 1.5×105 centipoise. Also prepared are top and bottom sheets of cracker dough, the bottom of which is moved at a predetermined horizontal velocity for depositing a plurality of continuous or intermittent streams of a bakable filling thereon from a depositor comprising a plurality of openings. The top dough sheet is then placed over the bottom sheet, and the sheets are cut and / or scored in a predetermined pattern to form a composite unbaked dough and filling. Finally, the composite is baked sufficiently to provide a crisp outer crust that exhibiting textural and microbiological stability.

Filled, baked crispy snack having a high moisture content

A shelf-stable, filled, baked crispy snack which possesses a crispy textured casing and a moist, soft textured filling over a prolonged period of time is obtained by formulating a casing which when baked has a high glass temperature (Tg) at a high moisture content. Increasing the degree of starch gelatinization to increase the Tg may be achieved during baking and by the addition of a pregelatinized starch. The high Tg baked casing permits the use of a high moisture content filler in high amounts to provide a shelf-stable substantial textural dichotomy in the filled, baked, crispy snack. The filled, baked snack exhibits an unexpectedly high resistance to deformation or peak force at high baked casing moisture contents. The baked snack is ready-to-eat out of the packaging and does not have to be toasted, microwaved or further baked, cooked, or heated for consumption, or to achieve a crisp textured casing.
