Abstract
Abstract 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.
