A bread crumb composition is provided which adheres to a moistened comestible during coating and cooking without the necessity of batter coating the comestible. The composition comprises bread crumbs having a particle size wherein at least a majority of the crumbs are retained on a 20 mesh U.S. Standard Screen after passing through a 5 mesh U.S. Standard Screen, and an adhesive, the adhesive having been applied to and adhering to the surface of the crumbs. The adhesive contains a protein at a level of at least about 1% by weight of the crumbs and optionally may also contain a starch and/or a gum.

Self-sticking bread crumb composition and process

A baked coated comestible with the taste, texture and appearance of a fried coated comestible is prepared by coating a moistened comestible with a dry coating composition which comprises a farinaceous material containing bread crumbs and a flour, a binding agent containing a starch and a dextrin, and flavoring and coloring, followed by baking the coated comestible on a surface coated with a minimal amount of oil or fat.

Process for preparing a baked coated comestible

A bread crumb coating composition which, when coated onto a batter-coated comestible and then baked, imparts the resultant comestible with the taste, texture and appearance of a fried comestible. The bread crumb coating composition comprises bread crumbs consisting essentially of wheat flour, yeast and salt and having an elongated, porous and striated shape and structure, and a particle size wherein at least a majority of the crumbs by weight are retained on a USS 20 mesh screen after passing a USS 5 mesh screen, but not more than 10% of the crumbs by weight are retained on a USS 5 mesh screen. The bread crumbs are uniformly browned, and have an edible oil applied onto their surface.
