How was it done?
First, if this isn't in the right category, I apologize. It seemed to me to fit with the artisan theme.
Short background, I'm looking for other options instead of purchasing a large stand mixer. It brought me to the following question:
How did bakers several hundred years ago make bread without a stand mixer?
I understand how to do it on a small scale, say 1 or 2 loaves. . . That's fairly straight forward.
However, how did they accomplish this when they needed to make 100 loaves? I can't imagine they kneaded the 100's of loaves for hours and hours...just doesn't seem to make sense.
Thanks,
