An apparatus for forming a flat-rolled continuously conveyed dough sheet has an upper roller and a lower roller. The upper roller is driven rotationally about a first axis of rotation and the lower roller is driven rotationally about a second axis of rotation. The direction of rotation of the upper roller is opposite to the direction of rotation of the lower roller. A roll nip is formed between the upper roller and the lower roller for guiding therethrough and rolling out the dough sheet. The rollers have a configuration which favors resting of the dough sheet on the lower roller and the axes of rotation of the two rollers can be inclined relative to one another.
