A modification is provided to a traditional dough-forming machine for producing bagels so that the machine can produce an elongated bagel stick. The machine has a flat conveyor belt onto which incremental pieces of dough are dropped. The belt is pulled through a forming tube which curls and rolls the dough increments around an axially positioned mandrel. The mandrel has an elongated fin which extends at least to or through a wall of the forming tube and which prevents free ends of the dough from pressing against each other to form a continuous circular shape around the mandrel.
