For Pané- French culinary term (pane) is a cooking method which means dipped or rolled in breadcrumbs before cooking

  • For the extra-crispy result, you can double-crumb the tofu by repeating step 4.

Notes

( Note1)- Pat dry the surface of tofu with paper towels. I wouldn’t press the tofu as you still want the moisture from the tofu.
( Note2)- For gluten-free substitutions, chickpea flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, rice flour or cornflour both work out pretty well.
( Note3)-  If you’re gluten-free, you can simply use rice breadcrumbs.
(Note 4)- sweet or smoked it’s up to you.
