If more than four dough pieces are required to be placed in a baking mold, it is possible to place such a number of the bar-like pieces of dough 1 C in a baking mold when the diameter of each of them is decreased. In this case, the bar-like pieces of dough 1 C may be deformed so that they have elliptic cross sections (see FIG. 7( b )), so as to efficiently place them in the baking mold.
