Coating compositions for dough-based goods including doughnuts and other products

Abstract

A food product including an edible substrate at least partially derived from dough or batter is provided. Such a food product includes a first water-soluble coating. The first coating includes a starch, a starch derivative, or a mixture thereof. The first coating at least partially covers the surface of the edible substrate prior to the application of a second coating. The substrate and the second coating have different water activities. The first coating provides at least a partial moisture barrier between the substrate and the second coating.

1 . A bakery product comprising:
 a substantially uncooked doughnut substrate at least partially derived from dough or batter, wherein the dough or batter is at least partially derived from wheat; and   a dry coating composition comprising:
 from about 50% to about 100% potato dextrin; 
   wherein the dry coating composition at least partially covers the surface of the dough prior to application of a second coating and the dough and the second coating have different water activities and the dry coating composition provides a moisture barrier between the doughnut dough and the second coating.
