Method for processing and filling a dough product

Abstract

A dough processor is disclosed in which a pair of parallel rollers are geared for coacting space relationship to pass a predetermined amount of dough therebetween. Means are provided to adjust the spaced relationship between the rollers, and in fixed dimensional relationship each to the other so that firm spacing takes place as the dough is repeatedly processed between the rollers. A preferred ratchet type mechanism for adjusting the space between the rollers is provided. Gear reduction for the handle permits use by the average homemaker, and optionally the same may be power driven. The method contemplates the steps of sequentially and repeatedly passing the preformed amount of dough through the rollers, and adjusting the space closer and closer until the desired thickness is achieved. Thereafter the thus flatened dough is placed over a mold having upstanding cutting edges, the rollers spaced to pass the mold in cutting edge contact with the upper roller, and the mold is passed therethrough and the finished product removed.
