Wheat bread and potato snack food

摘要

A snack food is prepared using a combination of potato and baked bread made from wheat flour. The bread used may be yeast or chemically leavened. The potato may be potato granules or flakes or powder or fresh cooked potato. The two principal ingredients may also be mixed with other texturising and flavouring ingredients. The mixtures are formed into a plastic dough by the addition of water or other wetting ingredients and mixed in conventional dough mixers. The dough is formed in depositors or sheeters and cutters into suitable snack food sized pieces of adequate thickness and diameter and then dried, to give a crisp texture and long shelf life, by a number of alternative drying techniques including air drying and frying in vegetable oils. The final snack food may be coated with flavours and seasoning and vegetable oils to create taste and texture appeal.
