Abstract A method and apparatus for embossing a dough sheet (17) is disclosed. An embosser (10) is used to selec- tively compress zones (18) in a dough sheet (17) before the dough is fried in oil. The embosser (10) comprises a plurality of raised elongate embossing elements (13). The embossing elements (13), when pressed into the dough sheet (17), form a grid-like pattern of elongated compressed zones (18), wherein the elongated compressed zones (18) are unconnected and uncompressed at the grid intersections, and wherein the elongated compressed zones (18) substantially enclose a plurality of adjacent compressed zone-sharing uncompressed blister-forming zones (19). In a preferred embodiment, the uncompressed blister-forming zones (19) are a substantially parallel- ogram-shaped, and run along a grid line. Each elongated compressed zone (18) is laterally offset from an adja- cent compressed zone. The separation between the elongated compressed zones (18) at the grid inter- sections is sufficient to define a plurality of second uncompressed blister-forming zones (20). In a preferred embodiment, the compressed zones (18) have an area that is from 6% to 12% of the area of the uncompressed zones. The thickness (T') of the compressed zones (18) is from 6% to 12% of the thickness (T') of the uncompressed dough sheet (17).
