Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an apparatus to process pizza dough. The apparatus includes a platform to support the dough to be processed, and further includes a platen having finger-like projections positioned to operatively come in contact with the dough. The platform and platen are caused to oscillate relative to one another along an axis perpendicular to the dough support surface, and also move rotationally relative to one another in a plane parallel to the dough support surface. The motion of the platform and platen is in a predetermined timed relationship to cause the projections to engage and process the dough.
