Spiral Mixer
Hi there
I have a spiral mixer (10kg dough capacity) - one speed.
A general question ; Can a spiral (with one speed) develop gluten adequately for dough that has a high % of water (say 80% hydration).
Is there a general technique that I should be adopting when developing gluten in the spiral - i.e. say hold back some of the water and slowly incorporate?
Is there a 'general indication of how long I should mix in he spiral for high hydration or any dough?
Can good quality dough of an open crumb quality be solely prepared in a spiral mixer (one speed)?
I recently;y bough a spiral (one speed) soley for bread making but wondering whether I should have bought a planetary ?
Any advise or links would be appreciated.
Regards
