Disclosed is a transfer system. The transfer system comprises a transfer mechanism that itself comprises a first portion and second portion that together define a recess for receiving a dough ball. The transfer system also includes a drive system. The drive system drives the transfer mechanism to position the dough ball on a cooking surface, to make a flat edible, moves at least one of the first portion and second portion to open the recess to release the dough ball, and also drives the transfer mechanism to push the flat edible off the cooking surface.
