Abstract: The apparatus has a hem former that is movable relative to a sheet of dough along an edge of the sheet of dough, for guiding the edge of the sheet of dough in a helical path and for forming a hem along the edge of the sheet of dough. A filling dispenser is mounted near the hem former. The filling dispenser has a discharge chute oriented toward an axis of the helical path for dispensing filling over the edge of the sheet of dough when the edge of the sheet of dough is entering the helical path, prior to forming the hem. In another aspect, there is provided a method for making a sheet of dough with a filling-stuffed rim. This method comprises the steps of spreading filling over the edge of a sheet of dough, and folding the edge of the sheet of dough along a helical path over the filling for forming a hem containing the filling.
