Abstract

A method of producing filling-containing baked bread is provided. A dough sheet having layers of fats and oils therein is formed, cut in desired dimensions, wound, and baked to form the bread having flexible layers therein into which a filling is introduced through a pipe.

The introduction of filling is done by inserting the pipe along the axis of the baked bread, so that the tip of the pipe can be easily entered into thin cavities formed by expanded gaseous material when baking the wound dough sheet, without damaging the whole shape of bread and without clogging the tip of the pipe with crumbs, whereby the filling material containing the solid, or the filling material consisting only of a solid, is introduced into the baked bread.

Claims

1. A method of producing filling material-containing bread, comprising forming a dough sheet comprising layers of dough and layers of fats and oils, cutting said dough sheet in desired dimensions, winding up said cut dough sheet, and baking the wound sheet, thereby preparing a loaf of multi-layered crust layers in a spiral form about an axis of the bread;

said method further comprising the steps of inserting a pipe into said bread to make a bore along said axis, and introducing a filling material containing solid food into said bore of said bread through said pipe, thereby producing the filling material-containing bread.

2. A method of filling material-containing bread comprising the steps of:

forming a dough sheet by interposing layers of fats and oils with layers of dough,

cutting said dough sheet in a desired shape and dimension,

rolling said dough sheet in one direction,

baking said rolled dough sheet into bread and causing cavities to be formed along adjoining surfaces of said dough layers, said fat and oil layers being disposed in a spiral form about an axis of said rolled dough sheet and said bread having elasticity in a radial and outward direction about said axis,

inserting means for filling food material into said bread along the axis of the rolled dough sheet to form a bore, and

filling said bore with said food material using said means for filling while retracting said means for filling out of said bread.

3. The method of producing filling material-containing bread as recited in claim 2, wherein:

said means for filling is a pipe; and

said food material consists essentially of solid food.

4. The method of producing filling material-containing bread as recited in claim 2, further comprising the steps, of aging said rolled dough sheet before the baking step;

and

shrinking the bore after the retracting step to a size about 60% of the size formed by the inserting step.
