  • Patent number: 5529797
    Abstract: A plurality of rolls of pliable backing material are fed through guides in which the configuration of the backing material is converted from flat to generally U-shaped strips. Unbaked dough is deposited into the strips as they feed forwardly toward a baking oven. The strips, filled with unbaked dough, are moved through the oven at a rate which enables the oven heat to bake the dough. When the strips, filled with baked dough, emerge from the oven, they are intermittently severed, advantageously by a high pressure stream of water, to create discrete baked products. These products are then conveyed for a time and distance sufficient to permit cooling, and are thereafter wrapped.
