Final gauging and cutting
Typically the laminated dough is reduced through three pairs of rolls to a final
thickness suitable for cutting. The dough is usually cut at about 2mm thickness. Typically
there is a shrinkage of about 18% in the length of a baked biscuit compared with the
length of the cutter. The length of the baked biscuit may be controlled to a certain extent
by adjusting how much the dough can shrink prior to the cutter.
