Hobart A200 mixer

July 11, 2022 - 6:12pm -- Sugarfox

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and need help with an A200 I just acquired. It is old! I'm not sure of year.

Current issue is the bowl lift lever. It won't raise or lower more than 1 inch. It sounds like it is hitting something inside the neck. My question is do I take the head off to get to it?? The only literature I can find is a parts breakdown that doesn't show much. Any help is appreciated!

TL;DR: I am looking for an artisan bakery that makes the best artisan breads in Orange County, California. Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Mass baking bagels

March 2, 2022 - 12:31pm -- Bagelbaker

Hi crew. Hoping for some help here as it's been a head scratch-er. 

I have a small bagel market stall that's been going great and now I'm in process of opening a shop up but I want to mature my process to allow for more bagels. 

My current process is good for a smaller number. I make my dough, proof it overnight in large plastic containers. I then bring it to room temp, make it into dough balls, let it proof slightly, then shape, let it have another short rise then boil and bake. They turn really great, our customers love them.

Dozen Bakery in Nashville

January 31, 2022 - 11:32am -- foodforthought

Been visiting Nashville for a few weeks now and have just had sandwiches on truly great baguettes at the Dozen Bakery. Last week we had their tasty olive-laced sourdough. Lady in front of me snatched the last Kouign Amman that I was eyeing. Looked smashing. Sandwiches and viennoiserie a bit on the spendy side but the unenriched artisan breads are quite reasonable. These folks know what they’re doing. May they prosper.
