Abstract
A method and apparatus for treating a sheet of pastry dough to cause it to have a woven, lattice-work appearance by cutting a plurality of polygonal openings through the sheet in a predetermined pattern with sides of each opening being aligned with sides of adjacent openings to produce aligned rows of openings and deforming the sheet in the portions remaining between the openings by depressing grooves aligned with sides of the openings into the sheet to make it appear that the sheet is comprised of overlapping dough strips.
