Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for processing dough, for example, to form pita chips. The dough is split longitudinally to form a first portion of dough and a second portion of dough. In a first aspect, the apparatus comprises a first roller, a second roller, and at least one source of vacuum to provide a first vacuum in the first roller and a second vacuum in the second roller. The first roller and the second roller are spaced apart a distance so that the dough can pass between. In a second aspect, the method comprises providing dough with a first portion and a second portion; conveying the dough between a first roller and a second roller; exposing the first portion to a first vacuum within the first roller, rotating the first roller; exposing the second portion to a second vacuum within the second roller; and rotating the second roller.
