A dough dividing apparatus includes a dough discharge member (26) having a front end surface (30) having a recessed surface (28) extending substantially horizontally and having a circular arc-shaped cross-section and dough discharge holes (34) having outlets (32) opening on the front end surface, cutters (38) having cutting edges (36) extending in the longitudinal direction of the recessed surface (28), and a cutter driving device (40) that causes the cutting edges (36) to perform circular motion while keeping the cutters in a fixed posture so that the cutting edges periodically slide along the recessed surface downward from above it to cut and divide dough continuously extruded from the outlets (32).
