Machine and method for forming dough pieces (2) in which a dough piece (2) is carried by an endless belt (1) circulating around at least one cylinder (3). A canvas rests against the carpet when there is no dough (2) to keep the strip (6) taut. When the dough piece (2) comes into contact with this strip (6), the dough piece (2) is subjected to rotation about an axis transverse to the direction of movement of the dough piece (2), this strip (6) moving away from the cylinder (3) as the dough piece (2) passes between the cylinder (3) and the fabric while contact is maintained between the fabric and the dough (2). During this passage of the dough piece (2) between the cylinder (3) and the strip (6), the strip (6) is supplied from a reserve (12) of canvas.
