Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016126843A1] A method and apparatus for processing dough, for example, curing dough to make a pita chip. In a first aspect, the method comprises providing a first portion of dough on a first conveyor, conveying the first portion into an oven, directing a heating medium at the first portion using a first discharge array, and conveying the first portion out of the oven. In a second aspect, the apparatus comprises an oven, a first conveyor for conveying a first portion of dough, and a first discharge array. The oven comprises an oven housing, a first entrance of the oven housing for the first portion of dough, and a first exit of the oven housing for the first portion of dough. The first discharge array is positioned and oriented to direct a heating medium at the first portion of dough when the first portion of dough is positioned for conveyance by the first conveyor.
