A dough portioning and kneading machine has a frame on which a drum is rotably mounted around a horizontally disposed shaft. The drum has pocket openings in its circumference to receive dough supplied from a hopper. The drum is stepwisely rotated and has pistons in each of the pocket openings which are reciprocally moved by a cam means having cam surfaces coacting with the pistons. A kneading tool is arranged above the drum for kneading the dough in the pocket openings during which kneading operation the volume of the pocket openings is increased by means of rotating the cam means relative to the drum.
