Method of making refrigeratable dough compositions for the preparation of baked products

摘要

The present invention relates to dough compositions, adapted for storage under refrigerated conditions, a method for preparing the dough compositions, and baked products containing the dough composition. The dough compositions contain at least one strain of a lti-yeast and one or more sugars fermentable by the lti-yeast in an amount so that the dough composition will give rise to a CO₂ production of between about 50 to 250 ml/100 g dough within a time period not exceeding 1 week after the dough is prepared and a total amount of CO₂ production during the 5 week period after the dough is prepared being limited to about 400 ml/100 g dough. The refrigeratable dough composition provide baked goods having excellent texture and flavor even when being stored for a prolonged period of time.
