The invention relates to a device for portioning a dough mass, comprising a receiving chamber for holding said dough mass comprising a discharge opening, a pair of opposing rotary cutters provided at the discharge opening and arranged for rotation in mutually opposite directions, wherein each cutter comprises at least one blade rotatable around a rotary axis, which blade cooperates with the blade of the other cutter for cutting the dough mass into separate portions, and a release agent delivery system for applying a release agent onto the blades of the rotary cutters, wherein the release agent delivery system is configured for applying the release agent on opposing sides of each of the blades. The invention further relates to a release agent delivery system for use in such a device and a method for portioning a dough mass using such a device.

The present invention relates to a funnel for dough or dough ingredients, comprising at least one funnel wall, extending from a receiving opening to a dispensing opening and comprising containing means for a removable lining, at least one removable lining, corresponding with the shape and area of said funnel wall and comprising positioning means for positioning the lining with respect to the funnel wall, wherein the positioning means are adapted for at least limiting a movement of the lining with respect to the funnel in a direction from the receiving opening toward the dispensing opening in at least one respective mutual orientation of the funnel wall and the lining.

A method of manufacture and a composition for dough item including a protein source. The technology as disclosed and claimed herein and its various implementations and embodiments are a modified method of manufacture and a composition for a dough item that includes protein. The technology as disclosed and claimed provides a dough based crust or other dough based item that is a protein enriched alternative to conventional breads and crusts and other dough based products. This invention results in a dough that has more protein, more complete protein, and fewer carbohydrates than conventional wheat doughs/breads.
