Abstract

An apparatus for producing a dough roll is provided, in which a dough piece is held between the conveying path of a conveyor and the parallel and spaced-apart projections extending along the conveying direction, or held between the similar projections of a conveyor and the lower surface of a belt or roller system, while being moved downstream, passes between a pair of vertically juxtaposed rollers to be uniformly stretched without any lateral deformation of the rear portion of the dough piece due to irregularly gathered gases therein, and a symmetrically formed dough roll is produced.
