Hi saqib,

Once i did a R&D for my ex-workplace - "Developing a samosa sheet"
The final product was blast frozen and during thawing it came well. Following were the steps followed,

1.Preparation of emulsion - an emulsifier (egg powder or lecithin ) was added in to the vegetable oil while agitation and followed by warm water.
2.Kneading - Add the dough (sorry cannot remember the exact build up of the ingredients,but it was only with wheat flour and some baking powder) mix and the emulsion prepared in to a dough mixer.Knead well until the dough reaches elasticity.
3.Sending through the pastry sheeter.
4.Cooking on a rotary drum 180C for 30seconds (equipment was designed by our factory)
5.Cutting in to uniform length
6.packing - 15 sheets per pack.
7.Blast freezing


The product was elastic and easy to separate when thawed.

if you need i can send you a sketch of the rotary drum cooker

thnx azaam
but our formulation and the method is different. what about the potato starch . cant we get the result by using potato starch

hi,
got your point,

What about incorporation of some gluten in to the potato starch,which would give a strength to the dough.

Any way is your product pre-cooked or a raw pastry sheet?
