Process for producing snack, snack and snack-like food

摘要

It is intended to provide a process for producing a snack whereby a snack food made of bread which having a texture close to potato chips can be obtained. A crust-less bread slice (1) of 1 mm or more in thickness, which has been toasted into brown, is subjected to a heat treatment under elevated pressure by using a press (2). When the moisture content of the bread (1) amounts to about 30% by mass, the bread (1) is taken out from the press (2) and hot air-dried until the moisture content thereof is lowered to about 5% by mass. Thus, a processed bread product having a curled edge (an unseasoned snack) can be obtained.
