Wilmy Weekly: August 13th

The professional secret to dough is out

Ever tried to make dough in your regular mixer?

The results aren’t pretty: Clumpy texture. Stodgy bread. Overheated motors.

So, how do the pros get it right?

Introducing Ooni Halo Core Spiral Mixer.

Its secret is the same dough-making technology that professional bakers have used for decades.

Until now, most spiral mixers have been industrial-sized machines with industrial-sized price tags.

They also only made dough. And that gets a no from us.

To put the same professional tech into the hands of home bakers, we rebuilt the spiral mixer — creating a mighty little machine that can whip, beat and knead to professional high standards.
