Provided is a kneaded dough dividing apparatus including a divider having a single dough inlet receiving kneaded dough and two dough outlets for discharging the received kneaded dough as two streams of kneaded dough. The apparatus includes a dough supply pipe continuously supplying kneaded dough to the dough inlet of the divider, and a pressure distribution changing plate provided in the dough supply pipe. The pressure distribution changing plate having a width in a direction traversing a cross-section of the dough supply pipe as seen in the cross-section and a length extending from an upstream end to downstream end of the pressure distribution changing plate. The pressure distribution changing plate is twisted so that a direction of the width at the downstream end is generally at a right angle to a direction of the width at the upstream end.

A method for severing a dough portion from a dough mass by a dough portioning device having a container, a first portioning roller having a plurality of severing edges and a second portioning roller having a plurality of severing edges, wherein a depression is respectively provided between two severing edges. The method comprises rotating the first and second portioning rollers into a receiving position, and receiving a part of the dough mass in two depressions of the first and second portioning rollers facing the container. The method further comprises rotating the first and second portioning rollers into a waiting position, decreasing rotational speeds of the first and second portioning rollers, waiting for a waiting time to elapse and increasing the rotational speeds of the first and second portioning rollers and rotating the first and second portioning rollers into a severing position.

A stand mixer includes a base, a support column coupled to the base and extending upwardly from the base, a head coupled to an upper end of the support column and extending from the support column above the base, and a dough mold attachment assembly. The dough mold attachment assembly includes a dough hopper including an inlet for receiving moldable dough therethrough and an outlet for releasing the moldable dough as a molded dough therefrom, and a dough mold positioned within the dough hopper, the dough mold rotatable relative to the dough hopper and defining a mold cavity for forming the moldable dough into the molded dough as the dough mold is rotated relative to the dough hopper.
