METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SHAPING DOUGH PRODUCTS

The present disclosure relates to a device for forming a substantially straight, in particular wound, dough piece into an annular shape, comprising a bending unit for annularly bending the dough piece. The bending unit may comprise at least one retaining jaw, two movably supported shaping jaws, a lifting device and a stamp. While being in engagement with the dough piece, one of the shaping jaws provided with a projection is displaceable along a displacement path section between an initial position, in which the projection is in contact with a lower surface of the dough piece, and a final position, in which the projection has been brought out of engagement with the dough piece.
