What is the spiral mixer for?

The spiral mixer is mainly used to make tenacious dough such as those for bread or pizza, it works by a circulatory movement in which the hook rotates exclusively on itself while also rotating the bowl.


What is the spiral hook?

The hook is indispensable in bakeries and pastry shops, the spiral hook has a shape that can remember a hook or can also have a shape that looks like a spiral.


What's the spiral hook for?

The hook performs an essential function for mixtures that require long processing. Once you add the ingredients and start working, the hook begins to knead incorporating everything inside the bowl. At first the dough can be sticky and excessively soft, but gradually thanks to the action of the hook happens the so called "stranding".

It's during this phase that the glutinous mesh begins to develop, that is the lattice formed by proteins that allows the dough to retain carbon dioxide inside that develops during the leavening phase. The dough is ready when the hook tends to wrap on itself all the dough that, slowly, will tend to detach from the walls of the bowl.

When the dough is completely wrapped on the hook and will no longer stick on the bowl, it'll be the right time to remove the dough and proceed with the leavening phase.

The spiral hook is suitable for all leavened, full-bodied dough for which it's necessary a lot of strength to obtain a smooth and homogeneous result.
