TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of food fermentation, in particular to a segmented continuous synergistic fermentation method of donut dough. BACKGROUND
[0002] Donuts are made of wheat flour, sugar, butter, eggs and other raw materials mixed with water, fried and made into a unique flavor, color and soft texture that is loved by consumers. The dough is shaped, fermented, proofed, fried and other processes to make a soft and delicious food. In the process of making donuts, fermentation is the most critical step, and only after this process can the donuts be processed into a large volume, soft and loose texture, and the donuts made by different fermentation methods have different volume, taste and flavor.
[0003] Currently, the traditional fermentation method mainly uses acid dough fermentation method, which uses a mixed multi-strain starter produced by yeast fermentation in raw materials and the environment during dough mixing to produce carbon dioxide, promote the expansion of the dough, and form the unique flavor of fermented bread, which is loved by consumers. In the fermentation process, the main factors affecting the fermentation effect of yeast are the pre-activation process of yeast before fermentation and the control of temperature, humidity and time during the dough fermentation process. The degree of yeast activation affects the subsequent fermentation performance of yeast, and thus affects the expansion degree of donut dough. During the proofing process, high temperature will cause uneven proofing, and low temperature will cause insufficient proofing. The humidity of proofing will affect the smoothness of the donut skin, and high humidity will make the surface rough and prone to bubbles, and low humidity will affect the expansion degree of the donut.
[0004] In the current food processing process, in order to make the dough more fluffy, baking powder is often added to assist the dough to expand, and the baking powder is mainly baking soda with other acidic materials, which will produce carbon dioxide during the dough proofing process, and release gas during the heating and frying process to achieve the purpose of expansion. However, too much baking powder should not be taken, as the phosphates contained therein can have a negative impact on the human body, so a new type of safe and efficient fermentation method is needed.
[0005] In view of the above related technology, in industrial production, a large number of donuts need to be produced, therefore, the fermentation of the dough needs to be strictly controlled, therefore, a new type of safe fermentation method is needed. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to provide a segmented continuous synergistic fermentation method of donut dough, comprising: fermentation agent coupling fermentation, segmented continuous fermentation of donut dough; the method has a synergistic effect on fermentation performance, and can meet the actual industrial production and ensure product quality.
[0007] The technical solution of the present application is as follows:
[0008] A segmented continuous synergistic fermentation method of dough embryo of donut, comprising the following steps:
[0009] Mixing, stirring dry yeast A with glucose and water to activate, obtaining activated yeast; mixing dry yeast B with melted butter to make delayed wake-up yeast; adding activated yeast, delayed wake-up yeast and superoxide dismutase (SOD) into dough raw materials (not in order) to make dough, shaping; then using segmented continuous variable temperature and humidity fermentation method to complete dough leavening;
[0010] Wherein, "dry yeast A" and "dry yeast B" have no special meaning, and the marks "A" and "B" are only used to distinguish the dry yeasts used in different operation steps; preferably, the mass ratio of dry yeast A to dry yeast B is 3.8:6.2;
[0011] Preferably, the weight ratio of dry yeast A, glucose and water is 10-15:1-3:20-25; the mixing and stirring time of dry yeast A, glucose and water is 3-5 min, and the stirring is stopped when the yeast and glucose are fully dissolved in water; the dissolution and mixing time is different under different environmental conditions, so the stirring time can be freely determined; preferably, the activation is carried out at an environmental temperature of 28℃ for 15-25 min;
[0012] In the step of making delayed wake-up yeast, preferably, melt the butter at 30-35℃, mix dry yeast B with the melted butter, and stir for 3-5 min; the weight ratio of dry yeast B to butter is 1:2;
[0013] In the prepared dough, the weight ratio of each material is: high-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, potato flour, glucose, yeast (the total of dry yeast A and dry yeast B), salt, butter, water = 180-220:20-25:5:16-24:15-20:1:15-25:110-130;
[0014] Preferably, the addition amount of superoxide dismutase is 1% of the mass of flour (the total of high-gluten flour, low-gluten flour and potato flour); superoxide dismutase provides oxygen for yeast fermentation, and couples yeast to carry out fermentation of leavening agent;
[0015] Preferably, after mixing all the materials, use a stirrer to stir for 30 min until the dough is uniformly stirred; specifically, the dough is uniformly stirred when a layer of uniform glove film can be pulled out; divide the prepared dough, shape using a mold, and leaven; use segmented continuous variable temperature and humidity fermentation method for leavening; the specific steps are as follows:
[0016] Step one, low-humidity temperature rising fermentation, leavening at a relative humidity of 60-75% and a temperature of 40±1℃ for 15 min;
[0017] Step two, constant temperature fermentation in medium humidity, fermentation in 38±1℃, 15 minutes, relative humidity 75-85%;
[0018] Step three, constant temperature fermentation in high humidity, fermentation in 38±1℃, 15 minutes, relative humidity 85-98%.
[0019] According to the segmented continuous variable temperature and humidity fermentation method, the yeast growth and reproduction is promoted under the condition of low humidity and temperature rise, the yeast quantity is increased, and sufficient yeast is provided for the subsequent process; the yeast fermentation produces gas under the condition of medium humidity and constant temperature, the donut dough is expanded; and the donut dough is continuously expanded and shaped under the condition of high humidity and constant temperature.
[0020] The fermentation control of the segmented continuous synergistic fermentation method is carried out in zero-order reaction mode: V=V0+k﹒t
[0021] Wherein, V is the fermentation volume, V0 is the initial volume, k is the slope, and t is the time min. Under this reaction state, the normal yeast addition amount is 0.2-3.0%, regardless of the specific yeast addition amount change, which will meet the equation, which provides a basis for predicting the change of dough fermentation process.
[0022] Further, the present application also includes remedial measures before fermentation: if the dough is hardened before fermentation, 1-3% glycerol can be added to knead the dough and then fermented; if the dough is too sticky before fermentation, an appropriate amount of high-gluten flour can be sprinkled on the surface of the dough.
[0023] The technical principle and beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0024] The fermentation is promoted by the coupling of the leavening agent, and the expansion degree of the dough is controlled by the segmented continuous fermentation. Part of the dry yeast is activated, the remaining dry yeast is mixed with melted butter and then woken up, and superoxide dismutase is added to provide oxygen for yeast fermentation and promote the growth and fermentation of yeast. After the dough is shaped, the fermentation environment is controlled, and the dough is continuously fermented under the conditions of low humidity and temperature rise, medium humidity and constant temperature, and high humidity and constant temperature to control the expansion degree of the donut dough.
[0025] Due to the adoption of the leavening agent coupling and the segmented continuous fermentation method, the fermentation characteristics of the dough are improved, so the use of baking powder can be abandoned. The three-stage fermentation method of the present application can increase the volume by 20-27% compared with the traditional fermentation method. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
