DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to bread rolls and more particularly to a bread roll provided with a molded-in longitudinal cavity down its centre, into which may be inserted a sausage such as a frankfurt, saveloy, kransky, or the like. In a second aspect, the invention also consists in specialized baking equipment for the baking of molded, cavitied bread rolls.


BACKGROUND ART

Conventional elongate bread rolls for the preparing of so-called "hot dogs" are generally slit lengthwise to permit placing therein of the frankfurt, etc., or, less commonly, impaled on a metal spike to produce an elongate cavity into which the selected sausage can be inserted.
It has previously been proposed to bake so-called edible food containers and to provide appropriate utensils in which to bake them. For example PCT Application WO 83/01726, to Locolas et al, discloses a means of manufacturing an edible food container in the shape of a trucated cone, as does also the edible baked cup-shaped produce disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,290,154, to Turner. Both these edible containers have conical interior cavities, or blind "chimneys", and flat tops and bottoms.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,974,204, to Cooter, discloses an apparatus for baking hollow bread rolls, consisting of a pair of hinged mold plates with descrete heating elements and pocket forming core pieces.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,341,167, to Weiss, also discloses apparatus for baking hollow bread rolls. A hollow core element is located along the bottom of a fin attached to a top mold plate. The core element has in it apertures through which air under pressure can pass to free the roll from the top mold plate after baking.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,158,087, to Hedglin, discloses a baking tray for baking a number of hollow bread rolls, core elements pivoting on an upper frame.
The following patent specifications are also considered to be of at least some interest: U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,510,279(Woods); 1,936,835 (Fairchild); 1,950,772 (Biggs); 1,979,429 (Werner); 2,078,102 (Siela) and 4,214,517 (Caldwell).


DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

The present invention is concerned with the premolding of dough mix prior to baking to produce an improved cavitied bread roll. Another object of the invention is to provide a hot dog or the like not necessarily requiring to be wrapped or placed in an outer bag at the point of sale.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide what may be termed a multi-purpose bread roll adapted to be sold from a so-called "fast-food" outlet as, for example, in a hamburger shop conventionally selling hamburgers only, to thereby use the inventive bread rolls to provide a range of foods of greater variety than previously offered.
The above and other objects are able to be achieved by the provision of a baked roll having an elongate, preferably round-bottomed cavity extending partially along its longitudinal axis, an end thereof, located remote from the mouth of said elongate cavity, being baked to a greater extent than is the remainder of the bread roll to thus form a crusty bottom end adapted to absorb and retain flavourings and/or various sauces, as will be enumerated hereinafter. Preferably the top end of the bread roll is formed with a will or depression which is concentric with the elongated cavity, the outer edges of the top being rounded. The lower, closed end of the bread roll, however, is not uniformly concentric with the elongate cavity, nor is it concentric about its periphery.
Ideally, the outer wall of the bread roll itself, and the inner wall of the cavity therein are baked so as to form crusty surfaces.
In the second aspect of the present invention, a baking appliance for the baking of the cavitied bread rolls comprises a lower tray having therein a spaced-apart plurality of "female" molds; and also a co-acting top or cover provided with an equal plurality of hollow spikes, or lances, or fingers, each one being adapted to extend downwardly into a mold, so as to thereby produce an elongated cavity in a bread roll baked in the said appliance.
