A device for transferring pieces of dough includes a weighing device, in which dough can be weighed into dough portions with a defined weight and/or volume and can be discharged as dough products, and a working device, by which the portioned dough products can be processed, wherein the weighing device is positioned relative to the working device such that a dough product which has been portioned by the weighing device can be transferred to the working device in a transfer region. A release device is arranged in the transfer region between the weighing device and the working device and is designed to be movable in an oscillating manner and such that dough products which are transferred from the weighing device to the working device can be brought into contact with the release device, can be discharged from the weighing device, and can be introduced into the working device.
