Dough Rounders

Dough rounders are indispensable in large bakery operations and shops that produce a large amount of dough for pizza crusts. These machines stretch the gluten on the outside of a dough portion, which creates a smooth surface around the ball that helps hold in beneficial gases produced during proofing and baking.Dough rounding is the second step in the make-up stage after dough dividing. During rounding, the divided dough piece is shaped into a ball for easier handling, and in some cases, coated with dusting flour to prevent dough pickup in the equipment's product-contact surfaces, e.g., belt conveyors.
