  • Patent number: 6468569
    Abstract: An improved frozen cinnamon roll can be produced using a specific improved recipe and a significantly improved process. The cinnamon roll product can be manufactured and sold in a frozen form to a retail outlet. At the retail outlet, the frozen product can be thawed and baked to form a cinnamon roll that appears substantially equivalent to a fresh cinnamon roll prepared from basic ingredients on site. The recipe involves the use of specific ratios of ingredients that results in a frozen formulation that can be prepared frozen, thawed and baked successfully. In the process, a soft, sweet dough formulation is combined with a fat smear combined with a passivated cinnamon preparation. The soft, sweet, yeast-leavened dough is protected from deactivation by cinnamon using a preferred amount of smear in relation to the cinnamon. Further, the cinnamon is incorporated into the fat, using procedures forming a coated smear, that protect the soft, sweet dough yeast from the cinnamon materials.

  • Publication number: 20030190398
    Abstract: A rolled pastry composition, capable of microwave cooking from a raw frozen condition so as to have a “fresh baked” quality and character, is provided. The composition includes a dough, a cinnamon smear coating a portion of the dough, and an activatable colorant receivable upon the surface of the rolled pastry composition which, upon heating of the raw frozen composition, provides a brown “fresh baked” color for the finished pastry. The dough comprises a dual leavening system such that the rolled pastry composition volumetrically expands by about 1.5 to 3 times during microwave baking from a raw frozen condition.
