The present invention provides a method of forming proofed dough for baked goods in a predetermined shape, as well as an apparatus for practicing the method. The apparatus includes a closed dough handling system that includes a pressurized dough mixer, dough transporting means joined to the pressurized dough mixer, and injection molding means joined to the dough transporting means. The method includes the step of transporting proofed dough from the pressurized dough mixer through the dough transporting means to the injection molding means, wherein the injection molding means fills the injection mold with dough when it is connected to th e dough transporting means, thus forming one or more pieces of dough having the predetermined shape within the molds. The injection molds containing the dough may then either be conveyed into an oven to form a baked piece of dough having the predetermined shape, or conveyed into a freezer to form a frozen piece of dough having the predetermined shape. |
