Abstract
A cutting apparatus cuts a rolled dough product. The apparatus includes a conveyor conveying a rolled dough cylinder along a dough travel path. A nozzle is coupled to a liquid source providing liquid under pressure and is directed toward the dough travel path. The nozzle is offset from a surface of the dough cylinder by an offset distance sufficient so the cutter can cut a portion from the dough cylinder and provide sufficient separation between the cut portion and the dough cylinder so the cut portion does not stick to the dough cylinder.
