Abstract
A method is provided for producing dough for bread or pastry in which no excessive pressure is imparted to the dough. In this method kneaded dough is divided into dough portions, each portion is weighed, and the dough portions are placed to occupy a space proportional to the weight of each portion. By regulating the width and thickness of each portion, a dough strip having uniform dimensions is provided. Then shaped dough pieces are processed through cutting and shaping steps. The possibility of the gluten network being damaged by an excessive pressure is eliminated. Thus puffy and tasty bread or pastry made of such dough, and having an excellent quality, can be provided when the dough is baked.
