A forming method of forming a combined food product containing granulated objects and a food dough comprising steps of (a) discharging a tubular food dough from a discharging device and forming a bottom of the tubular food dough; (b) supplying a predetermined amount of granulated objects to an inside of the tubular food dough formed with the bottom; and (c) cutting the tubular food dough to divide the combined food product filled with the supplied granulated objects. In the step (c), the combined food product is formed so that an upper surface of the granulated objects which are filled is partially and ununiformly covered with the food dough.

A producing method for a dough for food in which a filling is wrapped with a dough sheet. The producing method includes the steps of: a) thinly extending and baking a dough liquid so as to prepare a thin baked dough; b) winding the thin baked dough around a mold member narrowed toward a tip; c) freezing the thin baked dough wound around the mold member so as to prepare a three-dimensional dough hardened in a manner wound around the mold member; and d) detaching the mold member from the three-dimensional dough. The method can speedily provide food in which a filling is wrapped with a dough sheet such as a crepe.

A method for producing a reheatable food product includes mixing butter, maltodextrin and breadcrumbs so as to form a butter mixture, obtaining a first slice of bread and a second slice of bread, spreading the butter mixture onto a first surface of the first slice of bread and a first surface of the second slice of bread, applying 5 g to 70 g of a filling to the second surface of the first slice of bread, positioning the second slice of bread on the filling such that the second surface of the second slice of bread is adjacent thereto to form the food product, grilling the food product until the first surfaces are golden brown, and compressing the food product to a thickness of 0.56 inches to 0.75 inches while grilling, freezing the food product to a frozen state, reheating the food product.

The invention relates to a packaged frozen food product comprising a sealed package made of material that is impermeable to water vapour, said sealed package holding: 40-1,000 grams of one or more frozen breaded food products comprising 30-90 wt. % of a filling having a water content of at least 30 wt. % and an outer crumb coating, said one or more frozen breaded food products having a total water content of 25-75 wt. %; and silica gel desiccant in an amount of 1-20% by weight of the one or more frozen breaded food products;
wherein the packaged frozen fried food product is obtained by a process comprising: a. providing a water-containing filling composition; b. providing a plastically deformable farinaceous dough; c. enveloping a portion of the filling composition with a layer of the farinaceous dough to produce an enveloped filling; d. pre-coating the surface of the enveloped filling with an adhesion composition to produce a pre-coated product; and e. applying a crumb onto the surface of the pre-coated product to produce a breaded product; f. frying the breaded food product to produce a fried breaded food product; g. introducing the fried breaded food product into a freezer to produce a frozen breaded food product; h. introducing one or more of the frozen breaded food products and silica gel desiccant into a package; and i. sealing the package;
wherein the atmosphere within the sealed package is in direct contact with the one or more frozen breaded food products and the silica gel desiccant.

The frozen breaded food product of the present invention can be reheated in a microwave or oven to produce a ready-to-eat product with a crispy outer coating even after it has been subjected to frozen storage for a prolonged period of time.

A method of producing a food product (10) includes preparing a first mixture by combining protein, water, egg, oil, and lecithin. The method further includes mixing the first mixture for a first period of time. A second mixture is prepared by combining the first mixture, water, wheat flour, sweetener, protein isolate, a leavening agent, and salt. The second mixture is mixed for a second period of time, and then baked to form the food product.
