Abstract
The present invention provides a croissant dough-piece bending apparatus having a conveyor for conveying rolled-up croissant dough pieces, a dough-piece bending member to push the central portion of the dough piece downstream, and a pair of swingable dough-piece bending belts. The dough-piece is pushed by the dough-piece bending member toward and between the dough-piece bending-belts. The dough piece is correctly bent at its center by the cooperation of the bending-member and the bending-belts. By this invention the dough pieces can be bent without getting wrinkles on their surfaces, and symmetrically bent products of a uniform shape can be obtained.
