Hi Amye
Oreo biscuits are grouped into the short dough category and are typically produced using a rotary moulding process similar to products like custard creams and digestive biscuits.
The black colour of the biscuit is achieved by using a high level of Cocoa Powder which is processed by Alkalising the beans before roasting this results in a dark brown to black coloured cocoa powder. These powders can be sourced from most of the major suppliers of cocoa and have a pH of about 9.
A typical starting recipe for an Oreo biscuit would be as follows:
Soft Flour 233
Cocoa Powder( black to dark brown) 17
Powdered Sugar 70
Shortening 44
Ammonia 2
Sodium Bicarbonate 0.5
Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate 0.7
Invert Sugar 5
Salt 2
Lecithin 0.5
Water 35
(Note water may need adjusting dependant on flour water absorption)
