An automatic baking apparatus for making food products in piece form from dough-like substances which apparatus has holding means adapted to be fixed to the top and bottom edges of a flexible sealable mixbag (100) containing dry ingredients and water. The baking apparatus has upper and lower drums (230,232) and means for moving the drums, and the mixbag has male protrusions (134, 134a) at the upper and lower edges so that the mixbag (100) can be attached respectively to the upper and lower drums (230, 232). The holding means on the upper and lower drums is in the form of a female groove (234, 234a) commensurate in shape with the male protrusions (134, 134a) on the mixbag so that the mixbag male protrusions can be detachably interlocked with the female grooves on the drums. In this way the mixbag is attached to the drums for a kneading process in the baking apparatus and after the kneading process is completed, the mixbag is rolled up onto the lower drum (232). Furthermore, the mixbag (100) has a specially shaped permanent seal (104, 116) in the lower portion thereof which permits dry ingredients located above this specially shaped permanent seal to more easily burst a burstable seal (108, 119). Furthermore, the mixbag has two machine readable indicia (121a, 121b) to be read by scanning means (270) in the baking apparatus, the first indicia (121a) informs the baking apparatus that the particular mixbag is suitable for operation in the baking apparatus, and the second indicia (121b) programs into the baking apparatus the receipt for the ingredients contained in the mixbag. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION If the baking apparatus is to be of practical use it should be able to cope with variations in the type and quality of the ingredients used and be able to produce a variety of baked products.
There is then a need to provide the baking apparatus with the necessary instructions to take account of these variations in a reliable and effective but uncomplicated and elegant manner.
The invention is defined in the claims below to which reference should now be made.
One embodiment of this invention is to a flexible sealable mixbag being permanently sealed along three of its sides and open at the top.
The mixbag has a peelable or burstable seal intermediate the top and bottom for separating dry ingredients and water, which burstable seal at the appropriate time is burst with internal pressure and the dry ingredients are hydrated.
Furthermore, the top and bottom edges of the mixbag have male protrusions and these are adapted to interlock with commensurately shaped female grooves on the moving means of the baking apparatus.
Another embodiment of this invention is a baking apparatus of the kind described in the prior art, but which has female grooves as the holding means on the drums forming the moving means.
These female grooves are commensurate in shape to the male protrusions on the mixbag and allow easy attachment and removal of the mixbag from the drums of the baking apparatus.
