Abstract: There is provided a water-soluble dietary fiber-containing composition for bread-making, comprising a homogeneous mixture of a water-soluble dietary fiber material, and an fats and oils, wherein the water-soluble dietary fiber material comprises not less than 85% by mass of a dietary fiber, wherein the water-soluble dietary fiber-containing composition for bread-making comprises 20 to 100 parts by mass of the fats and oils relative to 100 parts by mass of the water-soluble dietary fiber material is provided. Also, there is provided a bread fortified with a water-soluble dietary fiber, produced by using this composition; and a method for producing the bread fortified with a water-soluble dietary fiber comprising adding this composition in a kneading step in a bread-making process.

Abstract: A doughnut like a dumpling covered with sesame seeds is prepared using a powdery raw material, which comprises 50 to 80 parts by weight of ungelatinized starch, 6 to 25 parts by weight of pregelatinized starch, 7 to 30 parts by weight of wheat flour and 7 to 25 parts by weight of a saccharide. Dough used for the preparation of a doughnut like a dumpling covered with sesame seeds is obtained by adding water and, if needed, a seasoning component to the foregoing powdery raw material to thus form dough, dividing the resulting dough into small pieces and forming each small piece into a desired shape and, if needed, stuffing the shaped dough with fillings. The foregoing doughnut can be prepared by frying the foregoing dough. The doughnut like a dumpling covered with sesame seeds is excellent in the storage stability and has excellent sticky and resilient feeling upon eating like a rice cake.

Abstract: A dough for a bread which is obtainable by adding 65 to 90 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of a raw powder, and kneading the mixture, wherein the raw powder comprises 50 to 90 parts by weight of wheat flour and 50 to 10 parts by weight of starches including at least 4 parts by weight of a cold water swelling starch and comprises 6.5 to 9.0% by weight of protein derived from wheat flour, and a bread made of the dough. The starches may include a cross-linked starch of which hot water swelling power is 3 to 15 and hot water solubility is 15% or less by weight in addition to the cold water swelling starch. Thus obtained bread has natural taste of bread along with moderate springiness, moist texture, easily resolving property in the mouth, short and light texture.

Abstract: A method for preparing frozen baker's dough comprises the steps of blending ingredients for preparing bread including raw grain flour, 1 to 7 parts by weight of a processed starch per 100 parts by weight of the raw grain flour and 300 to 1000 units of a starch decomposition enzyme per 1 kg of the raw grain flour, the processed starch having a hot water solubility of not more than 8% by weight, a ratio of a cold water swelling power (Sc) to a hot water swelling power (Sh), Sc/Sh, ranging from 1.2 to 0.8 and a cold water swelling power ranging from 4 to 15, to thereby form a mixture; kneading the mixture while adding water to form a dough; and then freezing the dough.
