Abstract
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing coated or filled, dry baked products that are in the form of a ready-for-use pieces or divisible into ready-for-use pieces. In the process of the invention, a baked bread sheet is patterned for the formation of ready-for-use pieces while the starch of the bread sheet is in elastic state, the patterns being attached to one another and the bread sheet remaining continuous, whereafter the bread sheet is coated, and the coated bread sheet is divided along the patterning lines into detached products. For manufacturing filled products, a second patterned, hardened bread sheet is arranged on top of the coated bread sheet in such a way that the patterns match. The invention also relates to products obtained in this manner. Typical products of the invention comprise crispbreads, torn rusks, such as thin crispbreads, torn breadrings dried on a bread pole, and baked snacks. The invention also related to high-fibre baked snack products.
