A working system for working pieces of dough, including: at least one working cup, each having an opening, a receiving space for receiving pieces of dough and a working insert, the working insert delimiting the receiving space on the side of the receiving space remote from the opening; an abutment, which is arranged opposite the opening of the working cup; a height adjustment device, which is designed to reversibly, in particular mechanically, electromechanically, pneumatically or hydraulically, move the at least one working cup from a starting position remote from the abutment to a working position near the abutment; and a drive unit, which is designed to set the at least one working cup into oscillating motion. Each of the at least one working cups has a pressure cylinder having a pressure piston that can move in the pressure cylinder. A pressure control unit is pressure-transmittingly connected to the pressure cylinder.
