The invention relates to an apparatus for the automatic preparation of food products in piece form from dough- like substances and comprising a housing, which contains holding elements 11 intended to be attached to each end of a flexible, sealable bag 12 containing the ingredients for the dough-like substance, and the dough-preparing station 13, which has an upper and a lower slit forming slit openings 86; kneading elements, which mechanically work the ingredients in the bag and contain the holding elements 11 and the slit openings 86, and elements producing a relative swinging motion between the bag and the slit openings so that the ingredients are kneaded into a dough-like substance; and a heat-treatment station 14 in the housing, by which the kneaded, dough-like substance is treated, each slit opening 86 being formed by two guide elements such as sliding surfaces 87 or rollers 88. At least the one guide element 87, 88, at least in the upper slit, is movable relative to the other guide element in the same pair, thereby allowing gas to escape from the bag at the desired moment. <IMAGE>
