You can always minkowski around an infinitesimally thin cylinder to make a
disc. Applying minkowski with a sphere will produce the rounded disc you
describe. If you subtract a cylinder of smaller radius from the disc to make
a thin ring before applying minkowski then you'll get a toroid.
Minkowski is very computationally expensive so you'll probably soon find it
too slow for it to be useful in more complex models - there are often
quicker ways of achieving a similar result.
