Abstract:
A method for producing edible, at least partially decomposable thin-walled bodies by baking a carbohydrate-based mass expanding during a baking process in a baking mold defining the shape of said bodies and wall thicknesses of the bodies by an inner baking space between spaced mutually facing baking surfaces of baking mold parts movable relative to one another for opening and closing said baking mold and for reducing and enlarging the thickness of said inner baking space when said baking mold is closed, the method comprising:applying a portion of said baking mass on a lower baking mold part and closing said baking mold,preliminarily expanding and baking the baking mass portion in the closed baking mold having an enlarged inner baking space to a wall thickness greater than a final wall thickness of the baked thin-walled body with development of steam in the baking mass portion until the steam developed in said baking mass portion by the baking process reaches a maximal steam pressure,compressing the preliminarily baked baking mass portion after said maximal steam pressure is reached for a first time and before a central layer of said preliminarily baked baking mass portion is hardened by the baking process, andfinally baking the compressed preliminary baked baking mass portion in the closed baking mold having an reduced inner baking space with a thickness equal to the final wall thickness of the baked thin-walled body.
