Abstract
Crackers having a hollow interior and capable of being filled can be formed from a particular cracker dough. This cracker dough will contain a lower sugar content and shortening content than cookie or biscuit doughs. In order for the cracker dough to be used to form a hollow cracker, the dough must undergo treatment with proteolytic enzymes so as to selectively sever certain peptide linkages in the dough. This permits a hollow core to be formed upon the baking of the cracker rather than a cellular core. The hollow core of the cracker is filled using conventional needle injection techniques.
