The crumbliness and fragrance of Doria biscuits depends not only on the quality of the ingredients but also on the technique used, towards which the company pays particular attention.
Dough
The dough-making phase lasts from 5 to 7 minutes. Flour, sugar, eggs, refined vegetable oils and other ingredients, such as powdered milk, cocoa and chocolate drops, are mixed together.
Shapes
Specially shaped moulds are used for making the original Atene biscuit, the incomparable Bucaneve, the unique Doriflor flowers and the Zoodoria amusing animals.
Icing and browning
Icing and browning are important manufacturing phases. Doria uses its own recipes - without the aid of semi-finished products - directly based upon raw materials.
Cottura
The baking phase, which is fundamental during the manufacturing phase, is short and carried out at average and variable temperatures according to the sizes and weight of biscuits.
This is what gives that unmistakable flavour to Doria biscuits.
Doriano crackers are also called cream crackers and are considered the real substitutes for bread, according to the British tradition. They are eaten in the UK and ex British colonies, while they are not known in Italy where soda crackers are produced.
For this reason the recipe and manufacturing method of Doriano crackers are unique in Italy.
Recipe
The recipe that makes Doriano crackers so good and tasty is based upon simple ingredients such as flour, water, vegetable oils and salt.
Dough and rising
The ingredients are expertly mixed and then taken to a dough room for the natural rising process. This extremely important phase lasts 24 hours and gives the product its distinguishing features.
A special mixture is prepared aside made of flour, salt and vegetable fat, which is placed among the layers of the dough giving Doriano crackers their typical layered structure.
Baking
A particular combined baking method is used: direct baking during the first phase and air baking during the second. The holes in the crackers convey heat and help check rising and humidity during baking.
Doriano crackers are now ready to be tasted at their best!
