Abstract
Device for processing dough, comprising at least one transporting conveyor having a transport surface for transporting a first dough sheet, at least one feed line, for feeding at least a second dough sheet onto the first dough sheet, thus forming a multi-layered dough sheet, and at least one incision maker with a pattern of protruding blades for cutting a pattern of incisions in at least one of the dough sheets, the protruding blades movable with a directional component towards and from the direction of the transport surface and a cutting station for cutting the multi-layered dough sheet into dough pieces and a rolling station for rolling up the cut out dough pieces.
Claims13
A device for processing dough, comprising:
- at least one transporting conveyor having a transport surface for transporting a first dough sheet;
- at least one feed line for feeding at least a second dough sheet onto the first dough sheet to form a multi-layered dough sheet;
- and
- at least one incision maker positioned downstream from the at least one feed line and positioned above or below the at least one transporting conveyor, wherein the incision maker has a pattern of protruding blades for cutting a pattern of incisions in one surface of the multi-layered dough sheet, and wherein the protruding blades are movable with a directional component towards and from the transport surface;
- a cutting station for cutting the multi-layered dough sheet into dough pieces;
- and
- a rolling station for rolling up the cut out dough pieces for rolling into croissants.
A method for making croissants, comprising:
- providing a first dough sheet with a conveyor having a transport surface for transporting the first dough sheet;
- providing at least a second dough sheet, through at least one feed line, with different characteristics including different colour onto the first dough sheet;
- making the at least two sheets of dough into a multi-layered dough sheet by laminating or putting the first and second dough sheets on top of each other;
- cutting a pattern of incisions with a pattern of protruding blades in one surface of the multi-layered dough sheet and with a depth that is partly the depth of a total depth of the multi-layered dough piece, substantially the depth of the first dough sheet, wherein the protruding blades are moved with a directional component towards and from of the transport surface and are positioned downstream from the at least one feed line and positioned above or below the conveyor;
- cutting the multi-layered dough provided with incisions into dough pieces;
- and
- rolling up the cut out dough pieces with the incised surface on the outside.
