A machine (100) for “cartellate” production comprising a support structure (1), a motorized conveyor belt (3) for transport of dough strips, on which dough guide means (8) operate, conveyor means (5), motorized pinching means (6), shaping means (7), cutting means (9) and movable rolling means (10); said pinching means (6) being configured to operate, by rotating around its central axis, the clamping of the dough strips; said pinching means (6) cooperating with said conveyor means (5) and with said shaping means (7) achieving the dough strips forming; said cutting means (9) being steadily fixed to one of said pinching means (6).

Apparatus (100) for the production of "cartellate" comprising a male matrix (1) having a plurality of protrusions, a female matrix (5) having a plurality of recesses, a hollow punch (2), located below the male matrix (1) and over the female matrix (5), being said matrices (1, 5) coaxial to said hollow punch (2), and a movable cutting plane (4), which can be inserted in and removed from said apparatus (100) and characterized in that in a first operating configuration said movable cutting plane (4) is positioned below the hollow punch (2) and supports a thin sheet of dough (3) and said hollow punch (2) is formed by a scalloped perimeter (2') and internally by scalloped cutting paths (2"), and in that in a second operating configuration the movable cutting plane is removed and said male matrix (1) acts as a punch to allow the separation of the dough from the inside of the hollow punch (2), dough collected on the female matrix (5).
