Rotary dough cutter and method of operation

A method of producing a plurality of dough pieces using a rotary dough cutter including a shaft, a plurality of walls extending radially outward from the shaft and a plurality of interior blades extending radially outward from the shaft, wherein the plurality of walls define a plurality of dough cutter molds, the plurality of dough cutter molds include a first dough cutter mold and a second dough cutter mold, a first wall of the plurality of walls defines part of both the first dough cutter mold and the second dough cutter mold, and each one of the plurality of interior blades is located in only one of the plurality of dough cutter molds, wherein each of the plurality of interior blades, in height is shorter than a height of each of the plurality of the walls, extends lengthwise of each of the plurality of the dough cutter molds, is spaced from each of the plurality of the walls and cantilevered from the shaft the method comprising:

• cutting the plurality of dough pieces from a dough sheet with the plurality of walls;
• and
• scoring the plurality of dough pieces with the plurality of interior blades upon cutting the plurality of dough pieces from the dough sheet.
