Abstract: A manifold assembly for feeding dough through a plurality of dies simultaneously under substantially equal pressure, includes a longitudinally-extending manifold having an inlet end for receiving dough under pressure, an outlet end defining a plurality of extruder dies, and a top, a bottom and sides connecting the inlet and outlet ends. A chevron-shaped dough guide intermediate the inlet and outlet ends distributes the dough to the sides thereof, the guide being configured and dimensioned to distribute the dough to the dies simultaneously under substantially equal pressure. Preferably, the manifold top is concave, and the guide does not extend to the concave top, so some of the dough can pass between the guide and the concave top.
