A novel high-protein, reduced carbohydrate food material technology, and high-protein, reduced carbohydrate food products made therefrom, in which the food products meet high organoleptic, stability, and taste/texture standards. This novel material technology possesses numerous controllable functional characteristics, including high to low adhesion, high to low volume expansion, high to low tensile strength, and high to low break elongation, all of which are critical to both processing needs as well as final food product specifications. The material technology allows for the processing of proteinaceous foods on common process equipment, the foods including but not limited to chips, snacks, crackers, wafers, bars, flat breads, cookies, biscuits, breads, bagels, cakes, waffles, pancakes, french fries, pasta, pizza dough, breakfast cereals, muffins, doughnuts, pastries, and meat analogs. The material is an edible dough that possesses the material characteristics necessary for numerous industrial food processes, including direct reduction sheeting, lamination sheeting, extrusion, die cutting, and rotary molding, followed by on or more of baking, drying, microwaving, boiling, steaming, frying, seasoning, and enrobing.
