The present invention relates to fried bakery products which are not
clammy and wet, have adequate crispness, do not cause heartburn, have a
good chewy feel and are palatable, providing healthy feelings. The fried
bakery products are obtained by preparing a dough from the starting
materials for the dough with mixing and kneading them; subjecting the
dough to preliminary fermenting and to dividing and molding, and
fermenting the molded products; partial-baking the fermented molded
products in order not to be scorched on the surfaces; and frying the
partial-baked products in oil, and they have a lower oil absorption
compared with those fried bakery products obtained by frying the
fermented molded products without partial-baking, are not clammy and have
adequate crispness.
