These Japanese-style bread crumbs feature a distinctive light, airy texture that creates a superior coating compared to traditional bread crumbs. Progresso, a trusted name in cooking ingredients for generations, produces these panko bread crumbs using a special process that results in larger, flakier crumbs that absorb less oil and stay crispier longer. Panko bread crumbs originated in Japanese cuisine and have become essential in kitchens worldwide for their ability to create incredibly crispy coatings on fried and baked foods. These plain panko crumbs work beautifully for coating chicken cutlets, fish fillets, pork chops, and vegetables before frying or baking. They also make excellent toppings for casseroles, gratins, and baked mac and cheese, adding that coveted golden, crunchy layer. Unlike seasoned varieties, these plain panko crumbs give you complete control over flavoring, making them perfect for any recipe. For best results when using panko bread crumbs, set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and the panko crumbs in separate dishes. The three-step coating process ensures maximum adhesion and crispiness. Try mixing these versatile bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and herbs for an elevated coating, or use them to add texture to meatballs and meatloaf. Whether you're preparing Asian-inspired dishes, Italian favorites, or American comfort food classics, these crispy bread crumbs deliver consistent, professional results every time.
