A method and a device for aligning dough pieces on a conveying surface of a conveyor. The device is arranged for performing the following steps: providing at least one dough piece to a supply device arranged above the conveying surface; supplying the dough piece onto the conveying surface which is moving in a conveyance direction, and wherein the dough piece is supplied up-stream of a roller arranged at a distance above the conveying surface; blocking the conveyance of the dough piece by the roller, wherein the roller is driven to rotate in a rotation direction such that a peripheral velocity at a side of the roller facing the conveying surface is substantially opposite to the conveyance direction; temporarily reversing the rotation direction of the roller in order to pass the dough piece underneath the roller; and conveying the dough piece on the conveying surface.
