PCT No. PCT/AT90/00106 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 15, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 15, 1992 PCT Filed Oct. 30, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/06218 PCT Pub. Date May 16, 1991.In a process for folding dough sheets, in particular strudel dough sheets, at least one dough sheet is folded inward in opposite directions in at least two consecutive folding operations along parallel fold lines, and the exposed edges of the dough sheet that are parallel to the fold line come to lie within the projection of the folded dough sheet, after which the dough sheet folded this way is tucked on a first end along a line running crosswise to the parallel fold lines. Starting from the folded dough sheet's other end that is opposite in the direction of the parallel fold lines, tucking is performed at least twice opposite the direction of the first tuck, so that a folded edge of the product tucked at least twice comes to lie above the tucked, first end. In a device for performing this process, there is attached, to a conveying device (1), a first folding station (8) with folding flaps that can be pivoted around pins parallel to conveying direction (11), and in the conveying direction, after first folding station (8), a flap (22) that can pivot around a pin running crosswise to conveying direction (11) is attached and the conveying device comprises a transfer point to a device for multiple tucking of the exposed end of the folded dough sheet.
