What Makes Upper Crust Panko Better

The result is a Panko which tastes lighter and crispier than competitors with a superior plate presentation and a better yield. For over the past 30 years, Upper Crust Enterprises has been a leader in providing Truly Authentic Gourmet Panko bread crumbs to restaurants all over the world.

Take the challenge, replace your standard Panko with Upper Crust Enterprise Authentic Japanese Panko and win big with your customers, we guarantee it. Visit our Contact Us page and let us help you bring truly authentic Panko to your restaurant.

 

To make our authentic Japanese Panko we start with a special proprietary blend of high protein flour, and carefully mix in water, yeast, sugar, salt and a touch of oil to activate all the ingredients. We do not add any chemicals or preservatives, just simple ingredients. We take our time and rise the dough to develop the perfect bread dough with long cell fibers.

Each loaf is then cooked in a custom oven, which uses electric current (instead of heat) to bake a soft, airy, crust-less, all-white loaf. After naturally drying the bread a minimum of 18 hours, we grind the whole loaf using special screens and lightly toast the Panko to the perfect crispiness. It is a time-honored tradition of blending art and science, but the time is well invested because the final Panko bread crumb is guaranteed to:

• Taste lighter & crisper than competition
• Deliver better product highlights and plate presentation
• Provide a 26% higher yield than competitors.
