German term or phrase: Rundbäckerei
Als der eiserne Vorhang 1990 fiel, befand sich die russische Brotindustrie in desolatem Zustand.
Die Experten aus Westeuropa staunten aber nicht schlecht, als sie zum ersten Mal die berühmten *Rundbäckereien* in Augenschein nehmen konnten.

cylindrical bakery
Explanation:
'Rundbäckerei' can indeed mean round pastry ('Bäckerei' – just like 'bakery' in English – has several meanings: it is not only the place where bread and cakes are made or sold, but also the baked product itself). Here, however, it just refers to shape of the building. Here are few links where it is referred to as a cylindrical bakery:

"Now, the giant 1930s cylindrical bakery, which as Bread Factory Number 5 once housed a spiralling production line churning out 250,000 loaves a day, is becoming a “cultural cluster” including a bread museum."
https://itinerariesoftaste.sanpellegrino.com/taste-guide/bak...

"The main body of the bakery is a five-storey cylindrical building, which was built in 1934 and can be seen as a monument to Soviet constructivism."
