Abstract: A baking device (1) for producing baked products has a baking device frame (2) with a baking device housing (3) and a baking chamber (4), a baking tong chain (5) with baking tong carriages (6) which have baking tongs (21) that can be opened and closed. Rollers (7) are connected to the carriages (6) and/or to the chain (5) in such a way as to be able to rotate about a roller rotation axis (8), and roll on at least one vertical guide rail (9) in order to support and vertically guide the baking tong carriages (6). At least one lateral guide roller (10) is connected to a carriage (6) and/or to the chain (5) so as to be able to rotate about a lateral guide roller rotation axis (11). The lateral guide roller (10) rolls on at least one lateral guide strip (12) of the baking device (1) to laterally guide the carriage (6), and wherein the direction of the lateral guide roller rotation axis (11) is at an angle to the direction of the roller rotation axis (8).
