Unproofed, frozen, non-yeast dough products are disclosed which upon
exposure to microwave energy have characteristics similar to fresh-baked
bakery products. A method is provided to make such bakery products
without an intervening thawing or proofing step. The frozen dough product
is made without multiple leaveners from flour, water, fat, and a
protein-starch mixture comprising from about 0.01 baker's % to about 5
baker's % of protein and from about 0.01 baker's % to about 5 baker's %
of starch. The starch is preferably a mixture of two starches, one
absorbing moisture at ambient mixing temperature and one not absorbing
moisture at ambient mixing temperature but having a low bake out
temperature. The protein-starch mixture stabilizes moisture migration
during microwave cooking.
