Description

[0001] The invention relates to a dough mass for producing a shell for a snack product comprising crumbs of a prefabricated baked goods product, liquid, emulsifiers, raising agents as well as a snack product with a shell made from the dough mass and baked and a filling mass and a method for producing a snack product.

[0002] In today's often stressful work environment, it is common practice to consume a readily available, yet tasty, and preferably freshly prepared snack at lunchtime. Pre-made snack products are freshly baked, particularly in fast-food restaurants, but increasingly also in bakeries, pastry shops, and supermarkets, as well as in hotels, restaurants, and catering establishments, to meet customers' needs for freshly prepared food. At the same time, enormous quantities of baked goods, especially bread, must be destroyed every day in supermarkets, bakeries, pastry shops, and fast-food restaurants. These products, although perfectly edible, are often perceived as "stale" by customers just one day after they are produced and therefore no longer accepted.

[0003] WO 94 / 07369 shows a food product made from dough with a sweet or savory filling and optionally a topping, whereby the dough is pre-baked. The food product is intended to be heated in a microwave oven for final consumption. To create a crispy coating, the surface of the dough is coated with nuts, grains, seeds, or crumbs. However, this neither provides a way to use large quantities of crumbs nor can it be easily produced as a coating for a snack product.

[0004] US 2014 / 0154362 shows a confectionery with a chocolate coating, where the filling consists of dried sweet crumbs mixed with a fat-liquid matrix. The confectionery constitutes a finished food. A dough mixture for producing a coating for a snack product is not taught.

[0005] EP 1283012 relates to an ice cream confection with a shell into which a frozen filling is placed. The shell contains cookie crumbs from already baked cookies. A binding agent in the form of a syrup, which forms a coating around the surface of the crumbs when mixed with them, creates a mass that is moldable in the cold state and is heat-dried to harden. The starting mass of the ice cream confection does not serve as a dough for producing a shell for a snack product within the meaning of the present invention, but rather only for producing two sandwich halves between which an ice cream can be placed.

[0006] EP 1658773 relates to a method for producing a snack product from breadcrumbs that are hot-formed into a snack carrier using a mold. A sweet or savory filling is then placed inside the snack carrier. The aim of this invention is to provide a long-lasting, filled snack product. To eliminate the need for glycerin for the dough shell, breadcrumbs with a high water activity are used. Sweet breadcrumbs are also possible as an alternative. The crumb content is over 80%, resulting in an extremely firm and very dry dough that can only be formed using a mold. A simple production of a dough shell for a snack product is not possible.

[0007] DE 20 2011 105 658 relates to a composition for producing a savory topping for an oven-baked dish, the composition containing breadcrumbs. The topping layer can be used to provide the oven-baked dish with a crispy coating. A dough used to produce a coating for a snack product is not disclosed.

[0008] Against this background, the invention aims to provide a dough mixture for a shell for a snack product that, on the one hand, enables the reuse of baked goods that are no longer salable and, on the other hand, provides a starting point for a snack product that can be quickly baked on-site. For the present invention, the base is to be understood as part of the shell. The shell therefore represents a coherent casing that can at least partially enclose a filling.

[0009] This object is achieved by a dough mass having the features of claim 1.

[0010] One of the main ingredients of the dough consists of dried or fresh breadcrumbs made from pre-made baked goods. Pre-made baked goods can be used, in particular, for baked goods that are perfectly edible but are no longer sold or are only sold at significant discounts, such as day-old bread. This eliminates the need to destroy existing surpluses in supermarkets, bakeries, pastry shops, and fast-food restaurants, and allows them to remain available in the food chain for further processing into high-quality and tasty snack products.

[0011] For savory applications, i.e., snack products with a savory filling inside the shell, whole-grain, white, brown, or pumpernickel breadcrumbs can be used as crumbs. For sweet applications, i.e., snack products with a sweet filling inside the shell, biscuit, brioche, or cookie crumbs can be used as crumbs. Mixtures of different crumb types can also be used for both savory and sweet applications.

[0012] Another positive effect of using breadcrumbs instead of conventional flour as a dough base is the elimination of waiting time in the proving cabinet, as the flavors have already matured due to the pre-baked breadcrumbs. This significant advantage results in a time savings potential of up to 20% to 25% during production.

[0013] The starting materials for the crumbs are prefabricated baked goods such as bread or biscuits, which must have a certain degree of hardness. Therefore, slightly older baked goods that are perfectly edible but no longer commercially available, such as bread from the previous day, are ideal. Well-suited for the purposes of the invention are baked goods that, in a strength test according to AACC 74-09, exhibit less than 20%, preferably less than 10%, compression of the baked goods under the action of a stamp. With greater compression, the baked goods are too soft, and a homogeneous crumb grain cannot be guaranteed, which is particularly disadvantageous for machine production.

[0014] Equipment such as mills, mixers (blenders), or micro-cutters are used to produce crumbs from prefabricated baked goods. According to the invention, a grain size between 14 mesh (equivalent to a grain size of 1.41 mm) and 45 mesh (equivalent to 0.354 mm) is recommended. If the grain size is too coarse, less than 5 mesh (equivalent to a grain size of more than 4 mm), this not only results in a loss of appearance but also in a loss of quality. Furthermore, if the grain size is too coarse, a higher percentage of liquid must be added. If the grain size is too fine, more than 60 mesh (equivalent to a grain size of less than 0.25 mm), the dough becomes too mushy, making mechanical processing impossible.

[0015] A liquid component is also added to the dough, the amount of which depends on the binding ability of the breadcrumbs used, as well as the amount of fat and emulsifier added. The fat and emulsifier contain water and thus also contribute to increasing the water content of the dough. The specifically added liquid component can be products such as milk, cream, water, and / or fruit juices.

[0016] The added liquid component serves to increase the water content in the dough. The water content of the dough serves to make the dough pumpable. Furthermore, the water content activates the pre-baked starch contained in the crumbs. The gelatinized starch, along with coagulated gluten, forms the basis for the dough's binding.

[0017] To increase the dough's binding power, an emulsifier is also added to the dough. Ready-made sauce bases and / or whole eggs, which have excellent binding power, serve as emulsifiers. This is especially true for sauce bases consisting of cream and starch. Such a sauce base, like whole eggs, contains natural emulsifiers, eliminating the need for artificially produced emulsifiers, which are listed as food additives under the E numbers and are often used in ready-made food products.

[0018] According to the invention, a particularly high binding of the added fat component while simultaneously loosening the dough is achieved by an emulsifier in the form of a combination of whole egg, which contains lecithin, and a sauce base containing a combination of tapioca and waxy maize starch. Both types of starch have emulsifying properties and can thus enhance the effect of the emulsifier. The ingredients of the dough can disperse and set into a homogeneous mass.

[0019] In addition to its flavor carrier function, the added fat component also serves to prevent the coating from becoming moist after baking, thereby extending the quality and shelf life of the snack products according to the invention. In addition to the fat component, which may be added in the form of products such as butter, margarine, and / or oil, the added liquid component and the added emulsifier may also contain a proportion of fat, which further enhances the effect of the added fat component. This applies in particular to an emulsifier in the form of a pre-made sauce base consisting of cream and starch; in the case of a high cream content, the emulsifier may have a fat content of between 10% and 20% by weight.

[0020] In addition, a raising agent is added to the dough to loosen it. Finally, spices, herbs, or sugar can be added if desired. The dough is created by blending and stirring the ingredients, with additional mechanical or manual kneading.

[0021] According to the invention, the proportion of crumbs is between 20 wt.% and 60 wt.%, preferably between 22 wt.% and 35 wt.%. A range between 25 wt.% and 30 wt.% can also be provided. This allows, on the one hand, considerable quantities of prefabricated baked goods to be further processed in the form of crumbs, i.e., in grated form. Due to the crumbs and the added liquid component and the added emulsifier, the dough mass has a soft consistency and is therefore easy to process.

[0022] However, a crumb content of over 60% by weight would cause the dough to gelatinize too much and not meet the quality standards demanded by consumers. Furthermore, the dough would have too high a viscosity, and the formation of a coating by arranging the filling within the dough would no longer be possible. This also applies if the filling is pressed into the dough with a stamp or if the frozen filling itself acts as the stamp.

[0023] Surprisingly, it has been discovered that, unlike conventional flour products, there is no risk of excessive gelatinization, as long as the crumb content is not too high. The dough can therefore be formed into a shell, which, together with the base (which also forms part of the shell) after baking, is ideally suited as a tight covering for the filling inside the shell. The limited gelatinization ensures that the shell does not develop any cracks after baking through which the filling could leak out. This is especially true if the ready-to-eat snack product contains a filling that is at least partially liquid or pasty.

[0024] For the coating produced from the dough, it is advantageous if the crumbs have a consistent grain size. Any deviations in the grain size or fineness of the crumbs can be compensated for by increasing or decreasing the amount of liquid. To ensure consistent quality, it is advantageous if the crumbs used can be specified. This is achieved by the aforementioned strength test and grinding with a specified mill, followed, if necessary, by sieving with a specific mesh size.

[0025] The dough can be mixed, stirred, and kneaded in a magnetic mixer using a biscuit mixer, dough hook, or similar mixing device. Although the crumb content minimizes the risk of excessive gelatinization, preparation times should be kept short to prevent the dough from becoming too gelatinous due to the kneading, stirring, and mixing. For example, preparation times for the dough can be as short as 2 to 3 minutes. Such short preparation times are also beneficial for increasing efficiency in industrially produced snack products.

[0026] After the dough has been prepared by mixing, stirring, and possibly kneading the ingredients, a shell is formed from it. This shell serves to hold a tasty filling center consisting of a savory or sweet mixture. This shell retains the partially liquid or pasty filling even after baking. The base, made from the same dough, also counts as the shell. The baked shell also serves as a filling side dish. Due to the ingredients, the dough impresses with its lightness and fluffiness. It is suitable for freezing and can be eaten hot or cold.

[0027] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0028] In one embodiment of the invention, the added liquid component consists of water, milk, cream, and / or fruit juices. The water content of the dough mass can be between 25% and 50% by weight. The proportion of the added liquid component can be between 10% and 40% by weight, preferably between 20% and 30% by weight. In the case of milk as the added liquid component, this contributes significantly to the water content of the dough mass with a water content of over 90%. The added emulsifier also has a high water content. A sauce base consisting of cream and starch can have a water content of around 70%. Whole egg, which can also be added as an emulsifier, has a water content of 74.10%.

[0029] According to the invention, the emulsifier consists of whole egg and / or a sauce base. The proportion of emulsifier in the dough mass is between 10% and 45% by weight, preferably between 10% and 30% by weight.

[0030] The sauce base comprises a fat portion and a starch portion. The fat portion can be between 5% and 30% by weight, and the starch portion can be between 1% and 10% by weight. A fat portion of 15% by weight and a starch portion of 3% by weight are preferred. In a preferred embodiment, the sauce base consists of the fat portion and the starch portion. The fat portion can be in the form of cream. The starch portion can be in the form of native starch.

[0031] In a further embodiment of the invention, the added fat component consists of butter, margarine, and / or oil. The fat content of the dough mass can be between 8% and 30% by weight.

[0032] The dough mass according to the invention and the snack product produced therefrom are particularly intended for mechanical production and then prepared for consumption on-site in fast-food restaurants or supermarkets. In the meantime, storage is necessary that does not impair the dough mass or the snack product. However, during cool storage at a temperature between 0°C and 5°C or during deep-freezing at around -18°C, retrogradation occurs, whereby the starch gelatinized during production reforms. In one embodiment of the invention, it has been found that this process can be prevented by adding an emulsifier consisting of a combination of whole egg and a mixture of cream and, preferably, native starch. The mixture of cream and starch represents a sauce base within the meaning of the invention.

[0033] In the case of a combination of whole egg and sauce base, the proportion of whole egg in the dough mass can be between 10 wt.% and 35 wt.%, preferably between 15 wt.% and 30 wt.%. The proportion of sauce base in the dough mass can, for example, be between 10 wt.% and 20 wt.%. In one embodiment, the emulsifier can also be composed, by weight, of equal parts whole egg and of the sauce base described above, preferably consisting of a mixture of cream and starch. It is particularly preferred if the starch of the sauce base is composed of, preferably native, tapioca starch and, preferably native, waxy maize starch, whereby a composition in equal parts can again be provided. One possible composition of the sauce base consists of 97% cream with a fat content of 15% and 1.5% native tapioca starch and 1.5% native waxy maize starch. An example of such a sauce base is a QimiQ® sauce base.

[0034] With such an emulsifier, the starch from the sauce base, together with the chicken protein, which contributes to stability without degrading, and the pre-cooked starch from the breadcrumbs, form a consistent and stable gelatinization framework that does not degrade or regress even during extended storage. In particular, the fat components are absorbed into this framework and are difficult to separate.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the leavening agent in the baking mix is a chemical leavening agent, preferably baking powder. The leavening agent content can be between 0.5% and 2% by weight.

[0036] In the case of a chemical raising agent, the addition of biological raising agents can be omitted. In particular, yeast can be omitted. This is advantageous for the invention in that the fermentation process associated with biological raising agents, especially yeast, is eliminated. This allows the thickness of the shell, especially in the side area, to be better adapted to different shapes. Furthermore, this results in a time saving in production of approximately 20% to 25%, which is particularly advantageous in industrial production.

[0037] The invention further relates to a snack product with a baked shell made from a dough mass as described above and a filling mass.

[0038] The portion size of the snack product can range, for example, from 60 g to 350 g, preferably from 130 g to 280 g. Larger portions of up to 1000 g are also possible. Depending on the size, the snack product according to the invention can be offered as a snack, as a ready-made lunch, or even as finger food. The baked coating serves as a filling side dish. The filling can be savory (fish, meat, vegetables, etc.) or sweet (fruit, chocolate, vanilla cream, etc.), depending on the crumb type of the dough mixture.

[0039] The snack product can be stored frozen, with a shelf life of 6 months easily achieved. Fresh, refrigerated storage for 3 to 5 days is possible without any problems. If the shell made from the dough mixture with the filling inside is frozen, only baking is required to preserve the snack product. Frozen snack products can be easily heated using various appliances, such as microwaves, convection ovens, or high-speed ovens. This eliminates any fluctuations in quality.

[0040] The shell with the filling inside can be pre-baked before freezing. To complete the snack product from frozen, only regeneration in an oven, high-speed oven, or microwave is necessary. The ready-to-eat snack product can easily be kept warm for extended periods, for example, 4 to 5 hours, without any significant loss of moisture, making it ideal for sale in supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, as well as in hotels, restaurants, and catering. These sweet products can be consumed hot or cold. The range of fillings extends from vegetable, meat, fish, fruit, chocolate, and vanilla fillings to classic international dishes. Regional and seasonal specialties can also be accommodated at any time. The selection of suitable crumbs is correspondingly diverse.

[0041] The invention further relates to a method for producing a snack product from a dough mass, in particular as described above, comprising the following steps: Producing a dough mass Producing a filling Mass placing the dough mass into a mold Arranging the filling mass in the frozen state on the dough mass According to the invention, by arranging the filling mass, a shell is formed to hold the filling mass in the dough mass. In addition to a lateral shell region, the shell also has a base, which is also part of the shell. This enables particularly simple and efficient production because separate shaping of the shell, in particular of the lateral shell region, is not necessary. The arrangement of the filling mass thus creates a depression in the dough mass and ensures that the pasty dough mass is displaced, so that a sufficiently high lateral shell region is formed, which holds the filling mass inside the shell and thus inside the snack product after baking.As described above, the filling can be savory or sweet, depending on the dough.

[0042] The method according to the invention is particularly advantageously applicable to a dough mass as defined in claims 1 to 7, which is partially liquid or pasty and yet sufficiently stable to be easily displaced by the arranged filling mass on the one hand and to hold the filling mass securely in the snack product on the other hand.

[0043] The dough can be prepared after or during the mixing of the ingredients in a magnetic mixer using a biscuit mixer, dough hook, or similar mixing device. Preparation times can be very short, for example, only about 2 to 3 minutes, to prevent the starch from becoming too sticky. The consistency of the dough is designed to allow for easy and uncomplicated filling using a piston filler or similar device.

[0044] The dough is placed in the center of a specially designed pan, which can be made of paper or cardboard, metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, ceramic materials such as porcelain, or a plastic such as silicone. It is important that the material is suitable for the baking process. The different pan materials can affect the baking time.

[0045] After dosing the dough into a mold and shaping it with the filling, the baking process can begin immediately, especially if the dough does not require the use of organic raising agents. The simple dough handling and problem-free dosing of the dough into the mold and its redistribution by arranging the filling make it easy to automate production. This leads to better pricing, and with a dough as described above, surplus baked goods can also be put to good use. Furthermore, under such conditions, the dough is subjected to considerably less thermal stress than conventional bread doughs. The central application of the filling to the dough creates an even crust that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside when baked.

[0046] Preferably, the shape is designed as the outer surface of a cylinder or prism. The sufficiently pasty dough mass can adapt very well to shapes. As a result, the outer surface of the snack product also has a cylindrical or prismatic shape, open at the top.

[0047] The increase in volume occurs entirely in the oven. Different oven types, such as rack ovens, convection ovens, etc., are irrelevant.

[0048] In the process according to the invention, the filling is placed in a frozen state on the dough and then pressed into the mold. Particularly if the filling was originally a liquid, this can be arranged in a casing, for example. Appropriate portions are then cut from the frozen filling for placement in the dough. The frozen filling acts as a stamp, displacing the pasty dough. Due to the shape, which prevents the dough from escaping, a shell is formed that is sufficiently strong and also has a sufficiently high lateral shell area to retain the filling in the snack product after baking.

[0049] Arranging the filling in a frozen state has the advantage that a snack product can be produced with a partially liquid or pasty filling when ready to eat. By arranging a frozen filling made from liquid or pasty components, a shell is formed. The frozen filling is thawed during the baking process and thus becomes liquid or pasty, depending on the ingredients of the filling. In this case, a dough mixture as defined in claims 1 to 7 is particularly advantageous because the crumb content prevents the partially liquid or pasty filling from escaping. This makes it possible to produce a snack product that can be prepared quickly and easily and can have a tasty partially liquid or pasty filling core.

[0050] The arrangement of the frozen filling core also offers the advantage that the outer shell is sufficiently baked until the filling mass has thawed in order to safely arrange a thawed filling core containing liquid or pasty components in the ready-to-eat snack product without liquid or pasty components escaping through the shell.

[0051] Partially liquid or pasty fillings can be frozen in any desired shape, allowing virtually any shape to be realized for the snack product. This is particularly advantageous for a dough mass according to claims 1 to 7, which is sufficiently pasty and can also adapt very well to various shapes.

[0052] Arranging a filling in a frozen state also has the advantage that no standing time is necessary; the dough with the arranged filling can be placed directly in the oven to make the snack product ready for consumption.

[0053] However, pressing the filling is also possible with fresh filling. In this case, it may be necessary to use a special stamp to hold the filling together while pressing. Again, the shell is formed by pressing it into the pasty dough, as the mold prevents the dough from escaping.

[0054] During preparation, an oven temperature of 200°C to 220°C is recommended. Depending on the size and thickness of the shell and filling, the baking time can be between 10 and 25 minutes. In high-speed ovens and microwaves, significantly shorter baking times of 1 to 2 minutes and 5 to 6 minutes, respectively, are possible. The core temperature of the snack product should be approximately 85°C to 90°C to comply with hygiene guidelines and shelf life requirements through pasteurization. The filling must be heated sufficiently.

[0055] In one embodiment of the invention, the shell can have a weight-to-fill ratio of approximately 60 to 40. However, other, particularly higher, percentages for the filler are also possible.

[0056] After the baking and cooling process, the snack product is packaged in a moisture-proof manner and frozen. Film packaging that is welded and sealed gas-tight is particularly suitable for this purpose. The remaining air space between the snack product and the packaging can be filled with gases such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide to extend its shelf life. Alternatively, the filling material inside the casing can be directly frozen. For packages that are shipped immediately, surface pasteurization, which has already taken place during the baking process, is advantageous.

[0057] The ingredients of two embodiments of a dough mass according to the invention are listed below, the first embodiment relating to a savory dough mass for receiving a savory filling mass, while the second embodiment relating to a sweet dough mass for receiving a sweet filling mass. Savory dough mixture Ingredients: Proportion (wt%): Savory white breadcrumbs 25,91 whole egg 21,59 QimiQ ®< sauce base 10,80 Salt 0,32 Whole milk 26,99 Melted butter 12,96 baking powder 1,08 ground pepper 0,02 freshly chopped parsley 0,11 freshly chopped thyme 0,11 Freshly chopped marjoram 0,11

[0058] To prepare, first combine the sauce base with the whole egg. Then, slowly stir in the melted butter until a smooth mixture forms. Mix the salt with the baking powder and stir in. Then, add the savory breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly. Finally, add the milk and spices and mix to form the dough mixture. The dough mixture can be allowed to swell for about 15 minutes and then processed further, i.e., pour it into the dough pan and arrange the filling mixture on top. Sweet dough Ingredients: Proportion (wt%): Sweet cookie crumbs 29,63 whole egg 18,52 QimiQ ®< sauce base 12,35 granulated sugar 4,94 Whole milk 18,52 Melted butter 14,81 baking powder 1,23

[0059] Again, first, the sauce base is mixed with the whole egg, then the melted butter is slowly stirred in until a smooth mixture forms. The sugar is mixed with the baking powder and stirred in. Next, the sweet breadcrumbs are added and mixed thoroughly. Then, the milk is added and mixed. The resulting dough can then be allowed to rise for about 15 minutes before processing.

[0060] Further details and advantages of the present invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures and the drawings.

[0061] It shows: Fig. 1a to 1e schematic representations of various steps of the method according to the invention, Fig. 2 a schematic representation of an alternative method step, and Fig. 3 a schematic perspective view of a snack product according to the invention.

[0062] In Fig. 1aThe essential ingredients of the baking composition 1 according to the invention are shown schematically, namely crumbs 2, a liquid component 3 in the form of milk, a fat component 4 in the form of butter, an emulsifier 5 in the form of a combination of whole egg and a sauce base consisting of cream and native starch and a raising agent 6 in the form of baking powder.

[0063] The ingredients are mixed and kneaded in a machine 10 as shown schematically in Fig. 1b To avoid excessive gelatinization, the processing time in machine 10 is kept short.

[0064] Subsequently, the dough mass 1 is prepared according to Fig. 1c into a mold 11. Due to the ingredients, the dough mass 1 is sufficiently pasty that a conventional piston filler 12 can be used for this purpose. In the case shown, the mold 11 is a cylindrical surface and can be made of paper or metal, for example.

[0065] As shown schematically in Fig. 1d As shown, the filling mass 7 is then arranged on the dough mass 1 filled into the mold 11. The filling mass 7 can be savory or sweet depending on the crumbs 1. In the case shown, the filling mass 7 is deep-frozen and itself serves as a stamp from which the pasty dough mass 1 is displaced. The mold 11 prevents the dough mass 1 from escaping, so that by arranging the filling mass 1, a shell 8 for receiving the filling mass 7 is formed. By pressing the filling mass 7 into the dough mass 1, the lateral region 8a of the shell 8, by which the filling mass 7 is held together with the base 8b, is raised.

[0066] An alternative form of arrangement of the filling mass 7 on the dough mass 1 is shown schematically in Fig. 2shown. In this case, the filling 7 is not deep-frozen. The filling 7 is placed on the dough 1 filled into the mold and pressed into the dough 1 by means of a stamp 13. This forms the shell 8 with a lateral shell area 8a for receiving the filling 7.

[0067] Finally, the dough shell 8 with the filling 7 arranged therein is pre-baked in an oven 14. Depending on the type of oven, a temperature between 180°C and 225°C and a time between 15 and 25 minutes can be provided. This is shown schematically in Fig. 1e shown. The resulting snack product 9 can now be packaged and, if necessary, frozen, and subsequently delivered.

[0068] After baking or regenerating, a ready-to-eat and tasty snack product 9 is available to the end consumer. Such a snack product 9 is shown schematically in a perspective view in Fig. 3The shell 8, consisting of the lateral shell region 8a and the base 8b, forms an upwardly open, edible casing by which the filling mass 7 is held in the ready-to-eat state of the snack product 9.
