Preparation and quality evaluation of potato steamed bread with wheat gluten

The present study aimed to study the preparation and quality evaluation of potato steamed bread by using potato flour, wheat flour, and gluten at the presence of yeast and inorganic additives. As the rheological properties of the potato-wheat formulated flour negatively related to the potato flour, the potato-wheat formulated flour with 35% potato flour was set as the basic flour (100%). The effects of wheat gluten on the rheological properties of the dough were also evaluated, and gluten addition amount was set at 6.5%. The effects of yeast, sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and monocalcium phosphate addition on steamed bread properties have been studied and optimized by orthogonal test. The obtained potato steamed bread formula was 100% basic flour (potato/wheat mass ratio of 35:65), 6.5% wheat gluten, 1.1% yeast, 1.4% NaHCO₃, 0.75% citric acid, and 0.50% Ca(H₂PO₄)₂. The prepared potato steamed bread has good sensory and texture properties, with natural potato flavor.
