I received this as an early Christmas gift after burning out the motor on my KA. I had high hopes for its performance with sourdough dough, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! The gluten development is incredible. I finally achieved an open, lacy crumb with my high-hydration dough (85%). I bake 2-3 times a week with my micro bakery, and this tool has completely transformed my baking experience.
So far, I have only used 3 times to make sourdough bread, but It has not disappointed in performance. it worked the dough perfectly. It would be nice if Ooni sold a smaller accessory bowl for smaller baking needs. Even knowing that they don't, I would still buy this mixer. I would buy a small accessory bowl if they offered one.
I used to be a professional baker. Like many I dove in with producing sourdough breads. My old Kitchen Aid wasn't cutting it. I wanted a spiral mixer like what I used to work with in the bakery. This mixer is perfect. It has upped the quality of my bread products and it is a joy to clean and use. My only recommendation is recently someone gave me nesting mixing bowls with lids and the largest one fits the bowl of my OONI. I worry when that lid goes I won't have a replacement. MAKE A Bowl Lid! I use it to proof my dough in.
The mixer is great fro bread dough. I have not tried it on any other recipes. I gave it 5 starts based on the dough capabilities. No need for S&F when making sourdough. The only downfall so far is that it is heavy.
I would love to give you a good review. I don’t know if I like the mixer yet because I can’t find any recipes or directions on how to use it for sourdough and bread making need some kind of book.
Love this mixer for making both sourdough and regular yeasted breads. I can NOT believe how easy it is to mix and get a windowpane on my breads now. I have both the Ankarsrum and the Bosch mixers. While I also love them, the Ooni is game changing for breads.
