The present disclosure describes an ultrasonic rotary molding system that is used to form edible compositions or food products as they move along a conveyor belt. The food products are formed by an ultrasonic rotary wheel that includes one or more cutting tools that cut, and perhaps three dimensionally mold, food product strips. The system may include a movable backing plate that is located below the point where the ultrasonic rotary wheel cuts the food product strips. The movable backing plate may be spring loaded and it may exert force upwards against the conveyor belt and in turn against the food product.

A pastry cutter is provided to efficiently cut individual wafers from rolled dough. It features a detachable head and handle, allowing the head to press into the dough to create wafers while simultaneously perforating them with a grid of spikes. The head enclosure includes a cutter edge for defining the wafer shape and cleanout apertures for easy maintenance. An internal dough pusher, aided by springs, ejects the cut wafers from the head to ensure they do not stick. The design aims to streamline the production of wafer cookies or similar thin pastries by combining cutting, perforating, and ejecting functions in a single tool.

A method of producing a baked food product, preferably a pizza, includes the steps of providing a stretched dough, providing a stencil defining a pattern to be achieved, applying the stencil on the stretched dough and/or on the food product after baking; and placing at least one food ingredient on the stretched dough and/or on the food product according to a pattern defined by the stencil in such a way that the pattern is reproduced on the stretched dough and/or on the food product.

A high volume scoring system for bread dough is provided with a conveyor table that includes a first scoring apparatus and a second scoring apparatus that is located downstream from the first scoring apparatus to permit longitudinal and angled scoring of dough pieces. Trays containing unbaked dough pieces are loaded onto the conveyor and shuttled downstream along the conveyor to selectively align the trays beneath the first or second scoring apparatus depending on whether diagonal or longitudinal score lines are desired on the dough pieces. The first scoring apparatus is configured to make a series of diagonal score lines on the dough pieces positioned beneath the first scoring apparatus using a first series of blades. The system can also convey the trays containing the unbaked dough pieces downstream along the conveyor to align the trays beneath the second scoring apparatus. The second scoring apparatus is configured to make longitudinal score lines on the dough pieces positioned beneath the second scoring apparatus using a second series of blades. Once the dough pieces have been scored, they are conveyed by the system into an oven for baking.
