First Claim
1. A method of forming a ready-to-bake, endless dough ring, comprising the following steps:
- round kneading a dough piece;
fermenting the dough piece;
exerting flattening pressure on both sides of the dough piece for a round dough piece to form, the extension of which transverse to the direction of pressure exceeding the height thereof in the direction of pressure;

Abstract
For forming a ready-to-bake, endless dough ring, a dough piece is first round kneaded in a round-kneading station and then fermented in a fermenting station. In a pressure station, flattening pressure is exerted on two sides of the dough piece for a flat round piece to produce. After a relaxation interval, an inside hole is punched into the relaxed dough piece in a punching station, with a dough ring being obtained. The individual stations of a corresponding dough treatment system are connected to each other by means of a conveyor. Then secondary fermenting of the shaped dough ring takes place, which is followed by baking of a ring article. The result is an efficient method of forming a ready-to-bake, endless dough ring. Producing the baked ring article can be completely automated.
