Tools I Use For Baking

I use a Kitchenaid bowl-lift stand mixer. It's very robust and mixes like a champ.

Everything is measured in grams. Don't even think about using cups and spoons and stuff. I like and use this scale.

A metal bench scraper is great for moving dough around on the table and pre-shaping dough.

You'll need one of these plastic scrapers to get dough out of containers and bowls.

You'll need a couche to rest baguette dough after shaping.

Use a lame to score your shaped loaves so it breaks open where and how you want during baking.

It's better to use filtered water for bread baking. I like these from Brita.

Use this mat if you have a grouted countertop.

Pour boiling water over a pan filled with these lava rocks to make steam in your oven.

I like and use these oven mitts.

I like and use this stainless steel folding table.

You'll want to use a bread flour with higher protein content. This Kirkland organic flour is my favorite.
