Apparatus for shaping lumps of dough to flattened disks having substantially circular shape is provided. The apparatus comprises at least a first pair of rollers, generally two pairs of rollers, where flattening of the dough material begins, and a final pair of rollers where the dough material is flattened to its determined final thickness for baking. Between the final and next pair of rollers is a pair of conical rollers, gently urged towards each other, where the flattened dough material which emerges from the pair of rollers above the conical rollers is turned in a plane through an angle of about 60 to 90 degrees, so that the dough enters into the final pair of rollers with a different initial contact point than from the last pair of rollers. Generally, the dough material is elliptical when it is turned by the conical rollers, so that it becomes substantially circular after it emerges from the final rollers.
