Device for forming a sheeted dough from a dough piece, comprising: - a lower platen, arranged to support the dough piece during a forming operation, - an upper platen, and - a forming actuator, arranged to generate a relative movement between the upper platen and the lower platen, so that the dough piece can be pressed between the lower platen and the upper platen to form a sheeted dough, characterized in that the lower platen comprises: - a pressure plate having an upper surface suitable for receiving the dough piece, the pressure plate being equipped with a plurality of apertures formed in the upper surface thereof, - a plurality of moveable elements (1122, 201), each moveable element engaging with one of the apertures in the pressure plate, the moveable elements being suitable for adopting: ∘ a position known as retracted position, in which an upper surface of each moveable element is flush with the upper surface of the pressure plate, in such a way as to form, overall, a continuous surface with the pressure plate, and ∘ a so-called raised position, in which the moveable elements protrude with respect to the upper surface of the pressure plate, in such a way that the upper surfaces of each moveable element together form a raised surface with respect to the upper surface of the pressure plate, and - a lifting device, arranged to move the moveable elements with respect to the pressure plate, in such a way that the moveable elements adopt the retracted position or the raised position. - a lower platen, arranged to support the dough piece during a forming operation, - an upper platen, and - a forming actuator, arranged to generate a relative movement between the upper platen and the lower platen, so that the dough piece can be pressed between the lower platen and the upper platen to form a sheeted dough, - a pressure plate having an upper surface suitable for receiving the dough piece, the pressure plate being equipped with a plurality of apertures formed in the upper surface thereof, - a plurality of moveable elements (1122, 201), each moveable element engaging with one of the apertures in the pressure plate, the moveable elements being suitable for adopting: ∘ a position known as retracted position, in which an upper surface of each moveable element is flush with the upper surface of the pressure plate, in such a way as to form, overall, a continuous surface with the pressure plate, and ∘ a so-called raised position, in which the moveable elements protrude with respect to the upper surface of the pressure plate, in such a way that the upper surfaces of each moveable element together form a raised surface with respect to the upper surface of the pressure plate, and ∘ a position known as retracted position, in which an upper surface of each moveable element is flush with the upper surface of the pressure plate, in such a way as to form, overall, a continuous surface with the pressure plate, and ∘ a so-called raised position, in which the moveable elements protrude with respect to the upper surface of the pressure plate, in such a way that the upper surfaces of each moveable element together form a raised surface with respect to the upper surface of the pressure plate, and - a lifting device, arranged to move the moveable elements with respect to the pressure plate, in such a way that the moveable elements adopt the retracted position or the raised position.
