Abstract
A machine for molding or forming dough portions and oiling these dough portions has at least one pestle for the molding or forming operation, which pestle is mounted on a carrier movable in upward and downward direction so that the pestle, when moved downwardly, can deform the upper surface of the dough portion resting on a dough dish to the desired shape. The machine has also an oil applying means which is moved upwardly and downwardly in synchronism with the carrier. The oil applying means has an oil feeding tube which is arranged in front of the pestle, when seen in direction of movement of the dish, so that the dough portion is at first oiled and then deformed by the pestle. The oil feeding tube can be shifted upwardly relative to its mounting menas, said relative shifting movement being used for controlling the oil delivery to the tube.
