Description
Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US41 A ROLL-STYLE DOUGH PRODUCT HAVING A FRIED-LIKE TEXTURE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to a roll-style dough product. In particular, the invention S relates to a roll that when baked, develops a crisp, "fried-like" exterior texture.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A variety of specialized breads provide unique tasting products having pre-applied or pre-added flavor that goes beyond the usual bread-with-butter. For example, some popular bread products include Texas Toast, Italian-style bread, garlic bread, tomato focaccia, cheese-filled or cheese-topped bread and the like. Conventionally, this has been achieved by applying flavorings, herbs, spices, a fat composition or other additives, on the surface of baked and sliced bread or by incorporating the additives into the bread dough prior to baking.
As mentioned above, Texas Toast is one popular example of a flavored specialized bread 1 S product. Traditionally, Texas Toast has generally comprised a thickly sliced piece of bread having large amounts of butter and other flavorings spread on both sides that is subsequently baked until the crust has a quality of crispness. When consumed, the large amount of fat provides a consumer with an intense flavor sensation along with a desirable, crispy texture.
Texas Toast can be made from a variety of recipes and is also available in a frozen bread loaf format for cooking in a toaster. While traditional, sliced Texas Toast offers consumers a satisfying taste experience, it would be advantageous to have a Texas Toast-type product that delivers similar taste and textural experiences in an alternative format that is more versatile and requires less processing steps than sliced Texas Toast.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The embodiments of the invention described below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiments are chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may appreciate and understand the principles and practices of the invention.
Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US01 The invention relates to a dough product presenting the taste and textural qualities of traditional Texas Toast but available in a convenient and appealing roll-type format. The dough product as provided herein yields a consumer food product having a crisp, "fried-like" bottom crust with a flavor component disposed thereon, and an aesthetically desirable shape.
In one embodiment, the invention is a roll-style dough product having a crisp, "fried-like" bottom crust delivering similar taste and textural characteristics as traditional Texas Toast.
The roll-style dough product can further include a top surface having a crisp, "fried-like" surface.
The top and bottom surfaces can, either separately or in combination, include flavorings such that a consumer simultaneously experiences intense flavor along with the textural sensations.
The roll-style dough product can be provided in a variety of preparatory states including a fully baked product or a partially baked or par-baked product. The roll-style dough product can also be provided in a raw, refrigerated or frozen form. The roll-style dough product can be presented in a portioned or pull-apart configuration allowing a consumer to conveniently separate the dough product such that the portions can be individually consumed or dipped into other foods such as soup, sauce or gravy to absorb additional flavors.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to a process for preparing a roll-style dough product having the textural and taste characteristics associated with Texas Toast.
In yet another embodiment, the invention relates to a baking kit for preparing roll-style dough products having the textural and taste characteristics of Texas Toast.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The invention is now illustrated in greater detail by way of the following detailed description, but it should be understood that the invention is not to be construed as being limited thereto.
As used herein, the term "dough intermediate" refers to dough-based products, such as rolls, biscuits, buns, and the like that require a further thermal processing step by the end user prior to consumption.
3 Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US01 As used herein, the term "fried-like" refers to a cooked surface providing a crisp, grease releasing surface providing for near instantaneous release of flavor upon consumption.
As used herein, the term "immediate flavor impact" refers to a fast flavor impact upon biting into a food product. Immediate flavor impact generally occurs prior to any chewing in the mouth.
As used herein, the term flavorant encompasses dried and/or dehydrated ingredients, powdered ingredients, particulate ingredients, toppings, fresh ingredients, and flavors in a variety of forms including solid and liquid flavors.
It has been found that by applying a liquid fat or oil to the surfaces of a raw dough prior to a finishing step such as baking or heating, a baked dough product can be obtained having a crisp, "fried-like" texture.
The attainment of certain dough characteristics are more important in some doughs than in others, and depend largely on the intended end use of the dough product. In particular embodiments, a method of the invention will be more advantageously used in certain varieties of doughs: For example, dough extensibility may be more important in developed doughs than in undeveloped doughs. Developed doughs are those in which a protein network has been more or less fully formed or created. Examples of developed doughs include dough for breads or rolls.
Undeveloped doughs are those in which a protein network is not yet fully formed. One example of an undeveloped dough is biscuit dough.
Dough formulations, and the ingredients they contain, can differ depending on the finished product that is obtained from the dough. However, most doughs do generally have a number of ingredients in common and examples of some such common ingredients are described and illustrated in more detail below.
The dough of the invention generally contains a grain constituent that contributes to the structure of the dough. Different grain constituents lend different texture, taste and appearance to a baked good. Flour is the most commonly used grain constituent in baked goods, and in most baked foods is the primary ingredient.
Suitable flours include hard wheat flour, soft wheat flour, corn flour, high amylose flour, low amylose flour, and the like. For example, a dough product made with a hard wheat flour

4 Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US01 will have a more coarse texture than a dough made with a soft wheat flour due to the presence of a higher amount of gluten in hard wheat flour.
Bread flours are primarily milled from hard red winter or spring wheat.
Generally these flours have a protein content of about I 1.0 - 12.5%. Certain baked products may require stronger bread flours with about 1 - 2% higher protein content.
In bread making, flour may comprise up to about 95 weight percent of the dry ingredients. In bread, when the flour comes in contact with water, and the ingredients are mixed, the gluten protein fraction forms elastic, gas-retaining films.
A dough composition of the invention can be caused to expand (leaven) by any leavening I 0 mechanism, such as by one or more of the effects of: entrapped gas such as entrapped carbon dioxide, entrapped oxygen, or both; a laminated dough structure; by action of chemical leavening agents; or by action of a biological agent such as a yeast. Thus, a leavening agent may be an entrapped gas such as layers or cells (bubbles) that contain carbon dioxide, water vapor, or oxygen, etc.; any type of yeast (e.g., cake yeast, cream yeast, dry yeast, etc.); or a chemical leavening system, e.g., containing a basic chemical leavening agent and an acidic chemical leavening agent that react to form a leavening gas such as carbon dioxide.
Examples of acidic chemical leavening agents are generally known in the dough and bread-making arts, with examples including sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP), sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP), monosodium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCP), anhydrous monocalcium phosphate (AMCP), dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), glucono-delta-lactone (GDL), as well as a variety of others. Optionally, an acidic chemical leavening agent for use according to the invention, can be encapsulated.
Examples of basic chemical leavening agents include many that are generally known in the dough and baking arts, such as soda, i.e., sodium bicarbonate (NaHC03), potassium bicarbonate (KHC03), ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HC03), etc. A basic chemical leavening agent may also be encapsulated, if desired.
The evolution of carbon dioxide essentially follows the stoichiometry of typical acid-base reactions. The amount of leavening base present determines the amount of carbon dioxide evolved, whereas the type of leavening acid affects the speed at which the carbon dioxide is

5 Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US01 liberated. The amount of leavening base used in combination with the leavening acid can be balanced such that a minimum of unchanged reactants remain in the finished product. An excess amount of leavening base can impart a bitter flavor to the final product, while excess leavening acid can make the baked product tart.
Yeast is also utilized for leavening baked goods, and is often preferred because of the desirable flavor it imparts to the dough. Bakers' yeast is generally supplied in three forms: yeast cream, a thick suspension with about 17% solids; a moist press cake with about 30% solids; and an active dry yeast, with about 93 to 98% solids. Generally, active dry yeasts of acceptable quality have been available for some time, and recently instant active dry yeast has also been available for commercial use.
The quantity of yeast added to dough is directly related to the time required for fermentation, and the form of the yeast utilized. Generally, most bread doughs are made with from about 2 to 3% fresh compressed yeast, based on the amount of flour.
The dough of the invention can also contain additional ingredients. Some such additional ingredients can be used to modify the texture of dough. Texture modifying agents can improve many properties of the dough, such as viscoelastic properties, plasticity, or dough development.
Examples of texture modifying agents include fats, emulsifiers, hydrocolloids, and the like.
Shortening helps to improve the volume, grain and texture of the final product.
Shortening also has a tenderizing effect and improves overall palatability and flavor of a baked good. Either natural shortenings, animal or vegetable, or synthetic shortenings can be used.
Generally, shortening is comprised of triglycerides, fats and fatty oils made predominantly of triesters of glycerol with fatty acids. Fats and fatty oils useful in producing shortening include cotton seed oil, ground nut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, safflower oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, or combinations thereof.
Emulsifiers include nonionic, anionic, and/or cationic surfactants that can be used to influence the texture and homogeneity of a dough mixture, increase dough stability, improve eating quality, and prolong palatability. Emulsifiers include compounds such as lecithin, mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids, propylene glycol mono- and diesters of fatty acids, glyceryl-lacto esters of fatty acids, and ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides.

6 Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US01 Hydrocolloids are added to dough formulations to increase moisture content, and to improve viscoelastic properties of the dough and the crumb texture of the final product.
Hydrocolloids function both by stabilizing small air cells within the batter and by binding to moisture within the dough. Hydrocolloids include compounds such as xanthan gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum.
Dough-developing agents can also be added to the system to increase dough viscosity, texture and plasticity. Any number of agents known to those of skill in the art may be used including azodicarbonamide, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (D.A.T.E.M.) and potassium sorbate.
Another example of a dough-developing additive is PROTASETM. PROTASETM is a proprietary product containing enzymes and other dough conditioners. PROTASETM
is generally used to reduce mixing time and improve machinability. PROTASE 2XTM, a double strength version, which can be commercially obtained from J. R. Short Milling Co.
(Chicago, IL).
Dough conditioners are also examples of dough additives. One example of a dough conditioner is NUBAKETM, commercially available from RIBUS (St. Louis, MO).
Another example of a dough conditioner is L-cysteine, commercially available from B.F.
Goodrich (Cincinnati, OH).
Dough can also frequently contain nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals and proteins, for example. Examples of specific nutritional supplements include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron, calcium, or mixtures thereof.
Dough can also include flavorings such as sweeteners, spices, and specific flavorings such as bread or butter flavoring. Sweeteners include regular and high fructose corn syrup, sucrose (cane or beet sugar), and dextrose, for example. In addition to flavoring the baked good, sweeteners such as sugar can increase the moisture retention of a baked good, thereby increasing its tenderness.
Dough can also include preservatives and mold inhibitors such as sodium salts of propionic or sorbic acids, sodium diacetate, vinegar, monocalcium phosphate, lactic acid and mixtures thereof.

7 Attorney Docket No. 3176.23US01 Methods of forming the roll-style dough product of the invention include the steps of combining ingredients for a dough in a mixing system, configured so that the atmosphere can be, if desired, controlled, optionally controlling the atmosphere in the mixing system, and mixing the ingredients to form a resulting dough.
Methods of the invention can be used with any known method of mixing doughs including but not limited to a straight dough method, and a sponge and dough method. Details of a method of the invention can therefore depend in part on the type of dough that is being mixed, and the method of mixing that is generally used with that type of dough. For example, some chemically leavened doughs require a two step process. Methods of the invention can be utilized with two step processes, as well as other types of processes. Methods of the invention can also incorporate varied mixing times. The time a dough is mixed using a method of the invention can depend in part on the type of dough that is being mixed and the general process that is being used.
Generally, the step of combining the ingredients in the mixing system depends on the particular ingredients, the type of dough being mixed, the type of process being used, and the type of mixing system being used. One of skill in the art, having read this specification, would know based on the ingredients being used, the type of process being used, and the type of mixing system being used, and how to accomplish this step.
