NL7811750A - Croissant preparation method - uses prepared dough slabs, stacked with individual paper separators in deep freeze conditions and used when required for baking - Google Patents

Abstract

Firstly, a handleable stack of formed slabs is stored in deep freeze conditions. This enables required quantities for processing to be separated at will from the stack, worked into the required shapes, and put in the oven for baking. For ease of sepn., between each dough layer in the stack a paper sheet is inserted. Normally, the slabs are formed into a rectangular stack from which they can be taken, used as they are, or cut, e.g. into triangular shapes.

A method for manufacturing yeast dough products, such as croissants, the yeast dough slices used in that method and packaging therefor.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing yeast dough products, such as croissants, starting from a prefabricated slice of dough.

For domestic or small-scale use, the use of pre-manufactured components is increasingly being used in the preparation of confectionery products. It is for instance known to form dough into a long track, after which the dough is rolled up and packaged as a cylinder 10. The package is then freely marketed and sold, the user having to use the entire amount of dough after opening the package or at least refraining from long-term storage of the remainder.

The invention contemplates the above objection to to be lifted by a method which is distinguished in that the slices formed into a hardenable package are frozen and stored in a frozen state, such that the slices can be separated in a desired number from the package 20 ', after which it is separated number of j slices is thawed and then to the desired shapes! are processed and baked in an oven.

; According to the invention, in order to facilitate the separation of the slices, between each dough; a separation element, for example, paper, is arranged in the package.

J In a preferred method, the

The invention further extends to a freezer-ready package for a package of yeast dough slices.

The accompanying figure schematically shows how the frozen slices of yeast dough can be processed according to the method j. j 'i

The yeast dough suitable for certain baking products is assembled in the factory, after which the dough is formed into the rectangular or square slices shown in the figure, the slices being provided with a score line 2 or not in order to obtain triangular dough slices. to facilitate in the final processing.

Each slice is formed into a stack, wherein a separating sheet, for example paper, can be placed between the slices before and after the slices have been frozen, and placed in a package 6. The slices are packaged for one -; i certain time in one. freezer space 4, this space being understood to mean the freezer itself i 20 at the manufacturer or retailer and at the user.

The user takes the package out of the freezer and separates at 5 the desired number of slices by inserting a knife or the like between the slices.

The separation sheet 3 hereby facilitates the separation.

Some of the stock is returned to the user in the freezer cell 4, while the slices are further separated in the above manner, after which each slice can be processed into a specific baking product.

In the figure, a croissant is taken as an example for this.

To this end, the rectangular slab 1 is stretched through a diamond and cut across the short diagonal, such that isosceles triangles are formed.

The dough slice is then rolled up via the hasis, after which the roll is bent in half-moon shape, which product is then placed on the baking tray in the oven.

Now let the rolled-up triangles rise in a warm place or in the oven on the lowest setting (max, 50 ° C) until they are about double the size.

After the prescribed proofing time, the oven can be heated to the desired baking temperature, after which the finished product is removed from the oven and consumed.

The invention is not limited to the dough slices for croissants, but any baking product such as ham rolls, khas rolls, sausage rolls, fruit rolls (with yellow cream) and raisin rolls made from yeast dough can be prepared in such a way manufactured and ii

stored in a freezer. J

According to the invention, each package is packaged in a package 6 offered to the retailer, which package is suitable for deep freezing, while the! i packaging is also resealable.

Finally, it should be noted that the frozen slices do not need to be packaged in the stretched state, but can be frozen, for example, in the rolled state. j | i t! i i i I! i '1 t; i i! i f \ 1______ K3 ».» : .: 78 1 1 7 5 0
