Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides freezer-to-oven dough products, as well as methods for preparing the dough products. Specifically, the dough products of the present invention include a chemical leavening system comprising a plurality of chemical leavening acids having different temperature ranges within which they are active as chemical leaveners. Such a chemical leavening system provides for the staged rising, i.e., rising that occurs over a wide temperature range and thus during a substantial portion of the cooking cycle, of the dough products of the present invention when cooked. By providing frozen dough products with such a leavening system, the need for a preproofing step prior to freezing, a thawing step or an intervening proofing step prior to cooking is avoided, and yet, the dough product is capable of substantial expansion upon cooking, thereby producing a cooked dough product with excellent visual and organoleptic properties.
