Description
Which one to use, the dough roller or the dough hook? This is a matter of opinion and taste. The end result is the same in many respects, and it’s something of a personal preference really. However, there are advantages to both options. The dough roller kneads the dough and the hook rather pulls the dough. The dough roller has been with us since the dawn of time, whereas the dough hook was added when introducing the Assistent Original in the USA. Our advice is to try both and see what you think. One point to note is that the dough hook is more suitable for larger doughs.
The dough hook was first included as an accessory with the Assistent in the 1960s in connection with its launch on the American market. It has proved a very popular product and is still supplied today. The dough knife is always used in combination with the dough hook. If the dough roller kneads the dough like a fist, then you could say that the dough hook kneads the dough by pulling on it. The dough hook tends to be recommended when you are making more than one loaf of bread and is ideal for working larger batches. If you are using fresh yeast, which needs to be dissolved, you may need to help it along by moving the arm to the middle a few times.
General user tips
Add the liquid first. Then add the remaining ingredients, leaving the flour until last and adding it a little at a time. Generally when you make dough in an Ankarsrum, you can, as a rule, use slightly less flour than indicated in the recipe. A good tip is therefore to add flour a little at a time as the dough forms. Then when you set the timer and leave the Assistent to knead the dough, try not to add any more flour. As stronger gluten strands develop during kneading, adding flour at this point will cause new weaker strands to form as well. (Read more about this here.) After 8-10 minutes of being worked by the Assistent the dough should start to feel firmer. If you feel that the arm is “punching” the dough or that the dough is not moving, this usually indicates that the dough has become too firm. If this happens, reduce the speed and adjust the arm using the base knob.Specifications
