The conveyance belt is passed over vertically spaced pulleys with dough pieces retained thereon by adjacent dough support means on the conveyance belt which cooperate to form open-ended cage-like dough retaining receptacles for dough pieces as they travel on the conveyance means over and about the vertically spaced pulleys. In an alternative embodiment thereof, the conveyance means has its vertically spaced pulleys mounted on axes at various angles to one another in order to provide a change in axis of rotation for the conveyance belt of 180.degree. as it goes about the closed loop path of travel to reverse the inner and outer sides of the conveyance belt once per complete revolution. Alternative forms of dough receptacles are also disclosed.
