Estimating the term…
A dough sheeting system for sheeting highly viscous bagel dough is presented. A continuous sheet of bagel dough is sheeted on a sheeting table including a satellite roller device, a cross roller device, and a gauging roller device arranged in series. The sheeting table reduces the dough sheet to a final thickness and width before a slitting device incorporating a plurality of rotary disc cutters, cuts the dough sheet into a plurality of dough sheets. Then a docker device cuts and virtually simultaneously presses the plurality of dough sheets to create a depressed center portion. A second cycle of the docker device cuts and presses again the depressed center portions of each newly created bagel dough piece. A spreading belt conveyor, a reciprocating conveyor, and a board indexing conveyor transport the bagel dough pieces to a proofing board for proofing and processing.
A dough sheeting apparatus for sheeting highly viscous bagel dough to form a bagel dough piece, the apparatus comprising:
A bagel producing apparatus comprising:
A method for producing square- or rectangular-shaped bagels comprising:
A non-traditional bagel product adapted to forming sandwiches and having a central depression located approximately centrally on the top surface thereof reminiscent of the traditional bagel hole, said product having the color, taste, and consistency of a traditional bagel while having a square, rectangular, pentagonal, or hexagonal shape, wherein the non-traditional bagel product if cut substantially in two even pieces along a horizontal plane will provide two halves, the top half having an indentation therein, and the bottom half not having a hole piercing through the center thereof.
