Abstract
A pocketed bun is made by placing a removable insert inside a portion of bread dough, cooking the bread dough to produce a bread bun, cutting the bread bun, and removing the insert from the bread bun. Preferably, the insert is made of a non-edible and non-stick material. The insert is at least partially or completely surrounded by the bread dough before and after cooking. The insert can also be magnetic, so that the insert and the bread dough can be magnetically suspended during cooking in an oven that has one or more suspension magnets.
