A novel food production apparatus is provided herein. It includes a supporting frame structure, and a conveyor system supported thereon, the conveyor system passing a plurality of work stations. Intermittent moving mechanisms are provided for intermittently moving the conveyor system from one work station to the next work station downstream therefrom. A dough sheet feeding mechanism is provided for intermittently loading a square sheet of dough at a diamond orientation onto the conveyor system while the conveyor system is stationary. At least one foodstuff loading mechanism is provided at one work station downstream from the dough sheet feeding mechanism to load foodstuff onto the sheet of dough while the conveyor system is stationary. A folding mechanism is provided at another work station downstream therefrom, to provide a substantially-hexagonally-shaped, loaded, overlapped-folded, sheet of dough, while the conveyor system is stationary. A rolling mechanism is provided at another work station downstream therefrom to provide a generally-cylindrical, overlapped-folded, loaded, rolled dough product, while the conveyor system is stationary. Discharge mechanisms are provided for discharging the generally-cylindrical, overlapped-folded, loaded rolled dough product from the conveyor system. Finally, controls are provided to synchronize the intermittent movement of the conveyor system with the sequential operation of all the above-described mechanisms. This provides a novel finger roll comprising a generally-cylindrical, overlapped-folded, loaded, rolled, edible dough food product.
