22. The combination of dough product based on a low temperature
inactive living yeast which generates gas over time, the dough
product containing between 43 and 62% of flour, between 5 and 23%
fat, between 0.01 and 1% of a low temperature inactive strain
yeast that is essentially inactive at temperatures up to 8-12/C,
between 1.0 and 2.5% of sodium chloride or sugar, and between 23
and 33% water, and a closed packaging system containing said
dough product, said packaging system comprising a housing of a
material which is essentially impervious to oxygen, valve means
operatively associated with the housing for allowing exit of gas
from the housing when the gas pressure exceeds a certain minimum
value and which closes when said gas pressure drops below the
minimum value to prevent entry of oxygen into the housing, and a
substantially oxygen-free gaseous atmosphere surrounding the
dough product and additional to any gases generated by said
living yeast.
