Kitchen Terms:Breading

Breading is usually done to Meat or Vegetables before cooking. Most commonly breading is just that, bread. Bread can be dried or used moist depending on the recipe.

Bread is crumbled into very small pieces and the meat/vegetable is typically coated in a liquid and then rolled in the crumbled breading. The liquid will help the breading to stick better.

The breaded item can then be cooked according to recipe. When it is done it adds a bit of texture and flavor to the item cooked.
