A dough sheeting system for sheeting highly viscous bagel dough is presented. A continuous sheet of bagel dough is sheeted on a sheeting table including a satellite roller device, a cross roller device, and a gauging roller device arranged in series. The sheeting table reduces the dough sheet to a final thickness and width before a slitting device incorporating a plurality of rotary disc cutters, cuts the dough sheet into a plurality of dough sheets. Then a docker device cuts and virtually simultaneously presses the plurality of dough sheets to create a depressed center portion. A second cycle of the docker device cuts and presses again the depressed center portions of each newly created bagel dough piece. A spreading belt conveyor, a reciprocating conveyor, and a board indexing conveyor transport the bagel dough pieces to a proofing board for proofing and processing.
