A method of manufacturing a dough sheet, comprising providing a batch of dough, introducing the batch of dough to a pair of rollers, processing the dough through the pair of rollers to produce the dough sheet, and outputting the dough sheet from the pair of rollers. The pair of rollers is configured to transform the dough into the dough sheet, wherein a surface of each of the rollers of the pair of rollers is a grooved surface having a plurality of predetermined grooves. The predetermined grooves can run in a same direction as a direction of rotation of the roller, and the grooved surface has a predetermined surface roughness formed by the predetermined grooves.

A molding machine 1 is provided, which molds a gyoza wrapper by rolling a gyoza wrapper material lump. A first roller 12 rolls the gyoza wrapper material lump vertically downward to form an approximately elliptical semi-finished product. A direction changing device 30 including a pendulum 31 is positioned vertically below the first roller 12. The pendulum 31 includes a fulcrum portion 314 and an edge receiving portion 311 positioned closer to the central portion side of the first roller 12 than a position immediately below the fulcrum portion 31, which receives the front edge of the semi-finished product. When the semi-finished product is received by the edge receiving portion 311, the pendulum 31 changes the direction of the semi-finished product. A second roller 22 positioned vertically below the first roller 12 then rolls the semi-finished product vertically downward, so as to form a gyoza wrapper.

The present disclosure discloses a high-content buckwheat dried noodle and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of multi-grain flour products processing. The high-content buckwheat dried noodle of the present disclosure includes whole buckwheat flour, high-gluten wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, resistant starch, egg white powder, sodium alginate, konjac flour, sodium carbonate, glutamine aminotransferase, hemicellulase and phytase. The preparation method include: preprocessing a buckwheat raw material, optimizing a ratio of raw materials to auxiliary materials, and vacuum mixing, improved sheeting process, cutting, hanging, drying, strip shortening, packaging and other techniques and preparing high-content buckwheat dried noodles. By using the enzyme modification technique, the present disclosure improves protein cross-linking, increases soluble dietary fiber content, and biodegrades the anti-nutritional factor phytic acid, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate of nutrients, controlling the generation of post-prandial blood glucose and preventing obesity. Moreover, the high-content buckwheat dried noodle of the present disclosure includes no edible salt in its formula, is a healthy low-salt product which conforms to the concept of modern healthy diet.
