Dough baking device and method
First Claim
1. A method for baking phyllo dough into a stuffable pastry tube, including the steps of:
- providing a cylindrical mandrel having a substantially constant diameter along a majority of a length of the cylindrical mandrel;
rolling a phyllo dough sheet onto the cylindrical mandrel so that the phyllo dough at least partially overlaps itself;
baking the phyllo dough and the mandrel at sufficient temperature and for sufficient duration of time to allow the phyllo dough to harden;
removing the cylindrical mandrel from the phyllo dough to form the stuffable pastry tube; and
wherein said providing step includes having the cylindrical mandrel include a flare at one end of the cylindrical mandrel, the flare defining a greatest diameter portion of the cylindrical mandrel.

Abstract
A cylindrical mandrel is provided having a hollow core and a flare at one end. The cylindrical tube otherwise has a substantially constant diameter. Dough, such as phyllo dough, is wrapped around an outer surface of the mandrel in multiple layers. The dough and mandrel are then baked together until the dough hardens into a dough tube. The mandrel is then removed from the dough tube leaving the dough tube to be filled with an edible filling. The flare on the mandrel assists in removing the mandrel from the dough tube. The flare also facilitates contact between the mandrel and a baking tray to enhance heat transfer to an innermost layer of dough adjacent an outer surface of the mandrel. The hollow core of the mandrel facilitates baking of the innermost layer of dough adjacent the outer surface of the mandrel.
