Method and plant for providing quantitative dough for bread continuously

A method and apparatus are provided for continuously and quantitatively supplying bread dough. The apparatus comprises a pressing means that comprises two movable means, one of which is at least one roller (21'-24') or one belt conveyor (55',56') and the other of which is at least one belt conveyor (55,56), said roller being adapted to rotate about its own axis to apply a force to pull bread dough downward and said belt conveyor being adapted such that its conveying surface moves downward to apply a force to pull the bread dough downward, and which two movable means are oppositely positioned in a generally horizontal direction, one or both of said two movable means being adapted to reciprocally move in a generally horizontal direction to increase and decrease the distance between said two movable means, thereby preventing the pressure on said bread dough positioned between said two movable means from being unduly increased so as to allow said bread dough to flow stably downward from therebetween.
