Sheeter

Used in commercial bakeshops where large amounts of dough are rolled, this mechanical roller is composed of two stainless-steel rollers that can be adjusted to vary the gap between them. To the left and right of the rollers are conveyor belts that are reversible in direction. The dough is passed back and forth through the rollers, with the gap being lessened each time until the desired thickness is reached. Sheeters are most useful when making large batches of laminated doughs such as pâte feuilletée, croissant, and Danish pastry doughs.
