A dough-based product is formed by a machine which has a reciprocable punch die and cutter fitted to the die positioned above an upper run of a conveyor, the die having a centrally disposed die surface which extends to a peripheral die surface channel positioned adjacent the cutter. The machine also has at least one set of a plurality of rollers, which are positioned beneath the conveyor upper run and arranged on a rotatable disc so that the at least one set forms a spiral configuration so that when the punch die reciprocates towards a dough product transported by the upper run, the dough product is pressed, formed and cut by the punch die and cutter, in cooperation with the rollers, into pieces having a thickened rim.
