Clair Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 It's a dough whisk and makes it easier to mix dough (bread dough in my case).The place I have read about in Paris sells it for under €5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Clair, for another reason I put a post on http://paris.angloinfo.com/forum/ last night (at the suggestion of another forum member here) and have had a very good response. It might work for you as well. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[8-)][/quote]Quite the opposite... Unlike a wooden spoon, it has no solid side for the dough to stick to.

Alex H Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Easier just to use your hands [:)]As for "no kneading" - whats that hes doing at 5 min+ in the video? [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Some doughs are just easy to mix, some aren't... [:)]Which video have you looked at? The video I linked to isn't a no-knead recipe, it's a traditional sourdough... [8-)]EDIT: I see what you mean, but he isn't preparing a no-knead bread on the video, he is merely referring to no-knead in order to introduce a traditional bread.

Clair Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have been baking all sorts the last couple of weeks, country bread, rye bread (very sticky), brioche... and using different ways of leavening the dough, from poolish to ferment, via overnight rise in the fridge... I enjoy the challenge (most days!)[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
