No matter your level of experience, we’ll show you how to get the most out of your baking supplies.
The Importance of Temperature Control for Baking Bread
A recipe with only three ingredients: flour, water, and salt, should be dead easy to make. Yet after thousands of years, bread baking still fascinates – and frustrates. Despite the simple ingredient list, breadmaking presents challenges to bakers. Many variables throughout the process affect the final results. The balance of flour to water, the activity of yeast and bacteria, the development of gluten, and above all - temperature - impact bread's final flavor, texture, structure, and rise. Controlling these variables can make the difference between a mediocre loaf and a great one. Learning how to make great bread is a skill that comes with time and practice, but the right tools will assist in getting you the best results in your breadmaking journey.

Sourdough Starter Temperature
Sourdough starter is a living colony of yeast and good bacteria. Like any living thing it needs to eat - just flour and water. Feeding your starter the proper ingredients at the right time is the first step in creating great sourdough bread. Using the precise temperature control of the Sourdough Home, you can adjust starter feeding times to meet your schedule.

Laminating Dough at Home
Pastries such as croissants, puff pastry, danishes, sticky buns, and more require a dough lamination process - folding butter in between layers of dough. The light, flaky finish is created by the water in the butter expanding between each layer of dough. This water expansion separates the dough and the butter fries it – multiplying this process by as many as a hundred layers gives the pastries their unique, flaky texture.
Hand lamination is a long and often tedious process that does not always result in the same quality of finished product as with a mechanical sheeter. A sheeter gives the serious home baker a way to achieve professional results at home, speeds up the process, and makes the whole process much more manageable. And an underrated use - rolling out pizza dough!
In addition, many dough sheeters are made exactly like pasta machines. These are not ideal because they lack a sheeter board and the dough piles up on itself as it passes through the roller. You can try to support the dough with one arm while cranking with the other, but that can become quite the juggling act.
Our dough sheeter gives you a way to speed up the process and achieve professional-level precision. Made in Japan and built to last a lifetime.

Why use a Dough Whisk?
The right mixing tool is essential when baking bread and working with a stiff dough. Most dough whisks are made with a wooden handle that doesn't attach well to the whisk wire, and these just don’t hold up over time. Our durable whisk is made of extra-thick stainless steel wire, designed to be dishwasher-safe and built to last.
