Traditional unleavened dough breads are made by hand and in circular form.
This is inefficient and the product is uneven in taste and texture, which
is unsatisfactory and leads to wastage. It is also difficult to pack. In
accordance with the invention, a continuous process of making baked
unleavened dough products is described where an extruded strip of dough
is passed through a heated oven section and the cooked dough strip then
sized and cut into rectangular breads. The process is of particular value
to mechanize the production of Saj bread, producing a product of a more
even quality and more consumer-acceptable shape.
