Abstract: The present invention provides a rounder bar and method of making and using the same in which, in one embodiment, the rounder portion of the rounder bar will have a shape that presents a concave shape having one of at least one flat surface and/or edge to the incoming dough. In another embodiment, the rounder bar will include at least one depression area that allows for an immediate, rather than gradual, expansion of the dough ball. This immediate expansion allows the formation of a dough ball with a more uniformly round shape and also eliminates the formation of a dimple on the resulting dough ball that exits the rounder.
