My Favorites: Toast Bread and The Ankarsrum Mixer |

- Two of my favorite things are the Ankarsrum Mixer and a delicious Toast Bread! The Ankarsrum Assistant is by far the nicest mixer I've ever used. It's made with high quality materials, has a 7qt bowl for large batches and is incredibly durable. But all that aside, baking with the Ankarsrum is fun and inspiring with recipe book that comes with it! The Toast Bread takes me back to my childhood, visiting my family in #Denmark, and eating the delicious #bread my Farmor would bring home from the bakery every morning. This Toast bread is kid-approved and will not disappoint!

This is a great video. We have an Ank and sadly I never pull it out. You have inspired me! Thank you so much. And Blake, you're the cutest camerawoman ever.
Awww, thank you so much! 🥰
I’m so happy to hear you’re inspired to dust it off! Please let us know what you decide to make… toast bread or something else? ☺️
I also have an Ankarsrum but I find the bread recipes use too much yeast. You get so much more flavor into the bread by just reducing the yeast (can be 2-3% of the flour) and instead increase the time for the dough to rise. I like to do this overnight in the fridge. There is also a nice side effect of giving the dough more time to rest: the bread will be much better digestible because the FODMAPS are getting decomposed.
Thanks so much for sharing! I haven’t tried reducing the yeast but I do lengthen the rise times. I’ll have to play around with the amount of yeast! ☺️
Hello from Denmark, sesame and poppy seeds are used a lot as a kind of spice on bread here in Denmark. Sadly the last 30 years we have seen a lot of bakeries close. So today we only have 400 real bakeries left. A real bakery is a bakery and a shop. A little tip, when you beat the eggs put a little salt in, it will make the eggs more runny and easier to apply on your bread.
Tak for det! I will definitely try adding a little salt next time. It’s so sad to hear the bakeries are closing. We see that in the US with so many independent shops closing and chain stores opening. 😔
@@farmbreadI think that trend depends on where you are. In rural areas, that seems to be true. Urban Areas seem to have the opposite trend. Chain stores don’t seem to do as well in urban areas nowadays. Perhaps the rent and the size spaces that are available make them less attractive to chains.
This was so helpful and fun! Thank you!
You are so welcome! ☺️
Really good instruction an how to use and adjust the. Ankarsrum roller .... great!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Great video, thank you
Looking forward to more bread videos
Thank you so much! ☺️
I love my Ankarsrum. I’ve made bread, cake, cookies, and butter with it.
Great to hear! I haven’t tried making butter with it! 💗
I am new with my ANKAR. where do you find recipes for bread and more using the ankar? Thanks
Congrats on your new Ank! How exciting! This is a great question. Aside from the cookbook that comes with it, I find a lot of information in user groups on Facebook. I also use recipes that I've been making for years and adapt them (if needed) with the Ank. I would suggest using the dough roller as you're getting started and putting the dough hook aside for now. I think what's most important is to reserve the last cup or two of flours and add them gradually so that you can get your consistency to where you want it to be. I made a more recent video about getting started with the Ank if you'd like to check that out as well. You may find it helpful. Thanks so much! Good luck!
Thank you so much for your outstanding video. A very nice way of explaining and very detailed. Now I am convinced and you toke me all the doubts about which mixer I should buy. It is definitely going to be the Ankarsrum Assistant. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad it’s helpful! You will love the Ankarsrum! It takes a little time to get used to it at first, but it’s so worth it! 💗
thanks for the video. Just got a new Ankarsrum and was little frustrated making a challah. This video was a great tutorial on how to properly use the machine to make a bread. Love that the kids participated too!
Awww thank you! I’m so glad it helped you. Feel free to reach out with any questions! ☺️
So nice to bake with mom.
Thank you! ☺️
Great video ... thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you for sharing this very interesting video. Your bread looks delicious, and the mixer did a terrific job at working with the ingredients. I've just subscribed to your channel. Thanks again, and have a great day!
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! Glad you’re enjoying the videos, thanks for subscribing! ☺️
Great video! I’ve watched many now, too! You did a thorough job!🎉
I was in the market for a new mixer and am impressed with the Ankarsrum 😘
Will buy one next week 🙏🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words! You will love the Ank! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions getting started with it! 🤗
@@farmbread Your welcome & Thank you so much!
Nice video, My Husband bought me an Ank a few weeks ago and I love it! You’re right about the learning curve. I’ve been using my kitchen aid for yrs and with some dough it bogs down. Yes it’s expensive and it is true you get what you pay for. The chocolate chip recipe on pg 41 is now a family favorite.
Thanks so much! I haven’t tried that recipe yet but now I will! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Great video. Waiting for my mixer to arrive tomorrow. I have had 2 KitchenAid mixers fall apart with this type of dough. Can't wait to try it! Loved the addition of the kids and the dog getting a drink LOL
Awwww thank you so much! Our home is busy so I just have to work with it! 💗
Congrats on your new Ankarsrum!! I’m so excited for you! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. ☺️
Thank you for sharing. I am trying to decide between a Bosch and the Ank. This was very helpful!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you! ☺️
Get the ank you won't be disappointed
@@louisleoncini1033 a most enthusiastic +1 but the Bosch is a good mixer (I have both). Still, two reasons off the top of my head to go with the Ank are the fantastic warranty and the fact that it ships complete--no need for the equivalent of a Baker's Pack.
Nice job! Thank you.
Thank you so much! ☺️
I got to get this! I enjoyed watching and learning. One comment, I saw the butter that was going on your delicious-looking bread and would suggest making culture butter, and you would love your creation even more. Just a thought.
Thank you so much! At one point I was making my own butter from cream and it was delicious. I’m not sure if that’s the same as you mentioned, but I will look into cultured butter! Thank you for the tip! ☺️
I've had my Ank for a year now. I've got some bread recipes that have been staples for me for 20 plus years, then I purchased my Ank. Those same beloved recipes were so much better with the Ank. The tecture of my breads improved so much. Also, it seams I don't need to use as much flour.
What an amazing testimonial! I’m so happy to hear it! I noticed improvement as well especially with my whole wheat and honey cinnamon rolls! Thank you! 😘
Thank you for a fun watch! I’m curious what bread flour you’re using?😊
Thanks so much! I was using Lindley Mills organic high protein bread flour. They’re out of NC. ☺️
Verry great Video! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much! ☺️
I first discovered the Ankarsrum from watching Bruno Albouze. I thought it was an old antique mixer. After watching him use several times, and explaining features, i was hooked. Kitchen Aides are inferior along with many other brands. They cannot handle dough well and motors burn out.
I finally purchased mine and literally cried when i was unboxing it. It took 3 years to decide if I wanted to spend $700. It is worth every cent! Beautiful design and sturdy. I learned a while back that Amazon has many knock off products. I didn't know this. I always went to them to save, and somehow discovered they have fakes. ie..Dewalt, and other major products. I go elsewhere for major purchases. Purchased my Ank from Pleasant Hill Grain,...Nebraska.
Thank you so much! They do look a bit retro, in a good way! I’m so glad to hear your feedback. And yes, there are lots of scams out there so it’s important to read all the fine print and reviews! Make sure one is buying from a trusted source! Thanks so much! Enjoy your Ank!!
Yes abiut Amazon! I try to avoid them as much as possible.
“Pleasant Hill Grain” is a wonderful company!
“Everything Kitchens” is also an Authorized Dealer of the Ankarsrum and also has great Customer Service like PHG.
We order grain from PHG.
Have a wonderful year! Happy baking! 🙌🏼💐
Love the video, thanks! The loaves look amazing!! Have you ever tried to make a cake on that mixer? I've been thinking of buying one but it would be mostly for cakes.
Thank you so much! Yes, the Ankarsrum is so versatile! I actually made a two-tiered Norwegian cake yesterday, doubled the batch to make two cakes with a whipped cream topping from scratch and it handled it all beautifully! 💗
Awesome! That sounds delicious; thank you!@@farmbread
Nice video 😊🧚🏻👏🌸
Thank you!!
This is one of the best bread making videos I’ve seen in a long time! You are obviously an experienced bread maker. I am wondering if you ever make the dough and then freeze part of it (like to make rolls or single loaves)? I would like to be able to batch cook dough and pull out only what I need. If you have any experience with this, I would love to see a video on how it is done. Thank you. New subscriber. 💕
Wow, thank you so much! I typically bake batches and freeze the loaves, but I’ll look into freezing the dough for subsequent baking! Thank you for your feedback!!
I love your video~ THANK YOU
My special man (boyfriend sounds funny at my age LOL) gave me the Ankarsrum as a Christmas gift.
I’ve always made bread by hand with an antique recipe, so my learning curve has been slooow…first two sets of bread have come out dense and not fully risen. My usually successful Browned Butter Cookies came out flat. Ugh…
So definitely a learning curve. 😜🤔
Thank you SO much for your video! I love that you speak slowly, clearly, and explain in detail. Such a blessing!!
You also care about your Family and seem very kind. 💐
p.s. my Step Grandfather was Danish, a baker by trade who came to America after WWII and was saddened by the fact he could find no “real bakeries” in California where he chose to settle. He was also an arborist and professional rose bush specialist, so focused on that for the time I knew him. What is funny is you mentioned bicycling in Denmark - he bicycled everywhere LOL. He’d always tell me it was good for the body to stay healthy. As was scrubbing the skin with a tile brush..LOL
Blessings 🙌🏼🕊💐
p.s. Redmond’s “Real Salt” is even more healthy than the Himalayan, which I used until I discovered the Redmond’s .
(Traditional table salt is chemically altered and leaves no minerals, only chemical sodium and chloride, the latter a known carcinogen)🧂
Thank you so much for sharing this and for your kind words! Keep trying, you’ll get the hang of it soon! Just pay attention to your dough and/or batter to make sure it’s the right consistency or adjust amounts if it doesn’t seem right. What a nice gift! ☺️
Too funny- we are always searching for a bakery similar to those in DK. Some have come close, but nothing quite as good sadly. Maybe one day! 😁
Keep me posted- would love to hear more as you explore baking with your Ank! ☺️
Clever man, has he gained weight?
@@sherrilmiller1899 😂🤣
He did actually, 🤣 sooo…
He then bought me a WonderMill and 4 types of organic wheat berries, and asked if I’d make more bread, and and and…
He then went on a “Home-milled organic bread and water (with a little raw milk) Fast for 15 days and lost 5lbs. and said he didn’t feel hungry! He looks much better, skin looks better, hair less greasy in the mornings.
He then immediately followed his “Bread Test Fast” with a lemon water Fast for 5 days and lost 10!
So he’s now at his “When I met him healthy weight” LOL
He’s now in love with home milled and home made bread.
p.s. I didn’t even get to open my own Christmas gift he was so excited about the Ank mixer! I was NOT happy he opened the box and let him know! 😤 He was like a kid in a candy store. I told him I’m sure he bought the Ank for himself, not me LOL
@@farmbread Hi there!
Due to our crazy altitude of 7500’ and no consistency in flour mixture - 50/50 mix of hard red and hard white, I ended up adding a Tablespoon of Lecithin and 1/4 cup Gluten powder/flour, with a potato water mash.
It seems to be doing the trick! 🥵🙏🏼
Take care! 💐🕊
I'm so happy you're figuring out a solution, that sounds tricky! I'm not much help here, but I did reach out and a fellow bread maker recommended the book "Pie In the Sky". She said it's the best high altitude book. Tells you how to adjust recipes and gives you great advice. I'm not sure if you've seen it but wanted to pass this along! :)
I love this video and I have the book Tartine bread too.
Did you try the country bread with the Ankarsrum?
Thank you so much! I haven’t tried the country rye but I will now! Have you tried it? The rye flour to bread flour ratio is even less than I typically use but I’ll give it a shot. Thanks so much for sharing! ☺️
Hey, you have the same color Ankarsrum that I have! And I’m glad to see that bread from the cookbook actually being made. Cool. BTW the thing makes unbelievable pizza dough.
It’s such a lovely blue, isn’t it? Thanks so much for your comment. It does make a great pizza dough, super easy to press out and delicious! ☺️
What color is it? There are two blues available.
@@JerroldDuzenman I have the Royal blue color - it’s a little deeper than your typical royal blue, in a good way! ☺️
@@JerroldDuzenman it appears to be ocean blue.
I just ordered mine from your link!
You are so sweet - Yay, I'm so excited for you!!! Thank you so much for using my link, I truly appreciate it! Cannot wait to hear more - you will love it!
You can't help but love it, get into sourdough, many great people out there with amazing recipes for breads and other goodies. Wish I had known about this machine 30 years ago
@@sherrilmiller1899 So true, thanks for sharing! ☺️
I am hoping to have one of thes beauties by christmas. Waiting on a sale.
Fingers crossed for you! 🤞
Seldom see a sale, consider how much money you will save each month not buying bread, cookies, ect.more luck finding flours on sale. Christmas is a long way away ! And if you do it your new enthusiasm will get you experimenting, next xmas you may think you really don't need it. Homemade breads and goodies are appreated more than money spent on unneeded gifts and bread and soup for ailing friends and family, or thank u gifts or baking with family or friends, kids are time well spent. And the money you save goes to the coolest breadmaker around! The history of it is worth looking up, there is even a museum
@@sherrilmiller1899 I haven't bought store bread in over 25 years. I am a longtime bread maker. I was just hoping to update my current mixer
@@DiannaAtherton me too on long time baker, I am 70 and told myself what am I waiting for? It's a workhorse
I have my grandmother's old kitchen aid mixer. It has don't good by me over the years, but it has always been a bit small for me. In researching, I immediately had interest in the ankarsrum mixer. Love your videos on this. Thank you so much as it is bringing me closer to making an investment in this mixer. 😊 Also, where do u get your special bread flour? Thanks again.
Super, so glad the videos are helpful! Thank you for watching! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.
My favorite organic bread flour is through Central Milling. It’s unfortunately expensive to ship now so I’ve been trying to find more local mills on the east coast such as Lindley Mills and also Janie’s Mill. I listed them in order of preference. There’s also Azure Standard which has a good bread flour and special milling process that doesn’t remove any part of the wheat berry, but in turn has more of a whole wheat flavor so it’s a trade off. Janie’s mill is similar in that it tastes more like a whole wheat flour. Hope that’s helpful! ☺️
@farmbread Thanks for all the information. Here in upstate NY I "think" there may be a mill...somewhere??? But don't mind paying shipping if it's a great product. Thanks again
Thank you for sharing! Mine just arrived and I will be trying it out this week! On another note, are your kitchen countertops Quartz, marble, granite...? I love them with the subway tiles and I'm planning on updating my 22 YO countertops this year
Two very exciting things- the Ankarsrum and a kitchen update!! How fun! And thank you- our counters are quartz I believe. Best of luck with the kitchen and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions as you get started with your Ank! ☺️
@@farmbread thank you for the countertop info!
Recently got an Ank and enjoyed watching your video. Is there a reason a 'window pane' test was not done? That's what I'm used to when making bread to determine if it is ready for its first rise.
Congratulations on your new ank! Thanks so much!
You know, I have never done the window test in all of my bread making! There are so many different ways to do things, and they can all work! If that’s working for you don’t stop!
I really like the content of your vidéos Just wodering if you can use your toasting bread recipe for loaf pans
Thank you so much! Yes I’m pretty sure you can use loaf pans if you prefer that. Given how they rise while baking it’s not necessary but I think it would work fine if you prefer a standard loaf shape. ☺️
I recently purchased the ankarsrum and was wondering does your machine get warm while kneading? Because mine does and I was wondering if that's normal with the mixer. Thanks x
Hi! I believe mine does warm up a bit at the base, but not hot or too concerning. If yours is feeling hot I would recommend contacting customer service. Hope that helps!
Thanks for your reply,
looking forward for more bread videos 😊
I got my Ank today and have been playing with it. Tried the toasted bread recipe and ended up with sticky dough climbing up to the top of the blade and being flung out of the bowl over the counter top and floor. Exciting, but messy. Since you say it takes a week to get used to it, I hope my technique improves....
Thanks so much for sharing! Yes there’s definitely a bit of a learning curve, you are not alone! What I’ve found works well is that once you notice your dough is starting to reach the top of the roller, move the wand and roller about an inch or two to the center away from the edge. The dough is getting squished between the roller and the bowl and that’s why it moves upwards. When you reposition the wand, it allows the dough to stay together without getting too squished.
Don’t be discouraged! Let me know if that helps! 🤗
th-cam.com/video/qdgzyJ6WK6U/w-d-xo.html
Lol, sorry,, i read your comment and visioned your senirio,😂😂😂 lord, please don’t let that happen to me😂😂😂
Hi. I very much enjoyed your video and I also just splurged and bought Ank the Tank after my KitchenAid died during my last pizza dough endeavour. I would like to try this recipe. What size pan did you use to fit the 4 loaves?
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that! Ahhh, you will love the Ank! I use a 17.5”x11.5” sheet pan. It works well! Good luck, and let me know how the loaves turn out! ☺️
It went well today. My first loaves of bread ever. I halved the recipe as 4 loaves is too much for us. My first milk and yeast mixture did not bloom so I suspect either my dry yeast was expired (although the package indicated it was not) or my milk had cooled down too much. I brought the milk up to the right temp but I suspect it cooled off too much once I put it in the Ank and added the yeast. I bloomed the next batch directly in the saucepan once the milk got to temp and it worked fine. My loaves are certainly not as nice and cylindrical as yours but pretty good first attempt. It will come with practice. Thanks for you guidance.
@@pierredesloges7421 Excellent! They don’t need to look perfect, just taste good! ☺️ I usually freeze three loaves and keep one out to enjoy. I double bag in the freezer. They freeze well! Also, my yeast doesn’t bloom as well either with this recipe, and I have read from others that this happens to them as well. I’m not exactly sure why, but the important thing is that it still works , so don’t discard the yeast mixture if it doesn’t look right, just go ahead and use it and I’m pretty confident it will work fine!
Congratulations on your first loaves!!! ☺️
Can you use it for heavier whole grain sourdough recipes? For health reasons we eat whole grain sourdough.
Great question! I don’t see why not. I fresh mill wheat into whole wheat flour and use that for my whole wheat and honey loaf, and use the Ank to make a batch of 3 at once. However,
I don’t use the mixer as much for sourdough recipes as I do for yeasted loaves. I hope that’s helpful!
Have you used fresh milled flour for this recipe? Soft white berries or hard soft? Would it change the process listed in the ankarshrum book?
Hi! Great question. I haven’t used FMF for this recipe but I have used different bread flours that are a superfine ground whole wheat. My kids and my preference is definitely an even ratio or greater of the typical sifted bread flour. We prefer the flavor, but the texture is still very similar.
If you were to try FMF I would recommend hard white or hard red. Pay close attention to the dough mixture when adding your final cup of flour so that you have a good gauge on how much or little to add. Other than the amount of flour, using FMF really shouldn’t change the process much. I hope this helps! Thank you so much!
Merhaba, Ankarsrum'u geçen hafta Electrolux mağazasında gördüm. Bir haftadır onu almamak için kendime gerekçeler üretiyorum. Herkesin memnuniyeti beni inanılmaz etkiliyor. Galiba sonunda gidip onu alacak gibi görünüyorum. 🤔
Alıp pişman olmak istemiyorum.
Hi! I totally understand, it’s an investment but definitely worth it. I think you will not regret it. ☺️
Have you used einkorn in the ankersrum?
Hi! I have not but I can’t see any reason not too!
Is the color of Your Ankarsrum Royal Blue or Ocean Blue? Can’t tell if yours has the matte finish.
Hi! It’s Royal Blue with the matte finish. It’s beautiful! ☺️
I hear its a fantastic mixer but at that price thats a minimum expectation . I may yet get one but right now the difference in product between what Ankarsrum and my Bosch Mixer can produce are not near as separated as the cost of each .
I would say wait until either your Bosch has seen its final days or you feel it’s just not giving you the result you desire. The Ank is wonderful but definitely an investment.
What amount of flour in a recipe is the max for using the roll instead of the dough hook?
Great question! I’ll start out by saying I don’t really know the answer but based on my experience, I don’t go past 1600g using the roller. I haven’t tried a larger batch than that with the hook, but I’ve read from others that they’ll use the hook for larger batches. I hope that helps! Thank you!!
What size baking sheet did you use?
Hi! I have an 11” x 17” sheet pan and I cut parchment paper to fit that. ☺️
Do you mix sourdough in this as well? I make only old grains like red fife, spelt, Kamut and einkorn. I can’t eat modern wheat. Do you think this would over mix them? I usually do stretch and folds over about 4 hours so wondering if something like this would save me some time.
That’s a really good question. I haven’t tried sourdough throughout the bulk rise. I usually will use the mixer for the initial mixing of ingredients and then finish the rest by hand.
I don’t think you’d get the same results but I’m curious, I can definitely try it out to see.
Do you buy organic wheat berries or flours? You might find better success with regular spring and winter berries if they’re organic. Or organic flour. Just a thought!
Thanks so much for your question and for watching! ☺️
@@farmbread i use organic berries but I can’t tolerate modern wheat so I use red fife (an old Canadian version of wheat with lower gluten), spelt, kamut, einkorn and emmer. I do make wheat bread for my grandkids but my main reason to look at this machine is to be able to make my own bread with less time. Thanks for replying. I appreciate it.
You’re very welcome! What lucky grandkids. ☺️ I don’t think the Ank would reduce the overall time in the process, but it could help reduce hand kneading durations. So that it’s more of a passive time versus hands on in the process if that makes sense.
@@farmbread yes that makes sense. My process right now is to mix the bread one loaf at a time and then let it sit an hour. Then I do stretch and folds every hour 3 or 4 times until I get a good windowpane before I shape the loaves and put them in the fridge over night. I am thinking the machine would let me do the kneading of 3 or 4 loaves at once and then just bulk ferment for a few hours before shaping. That could save me time. It’s an expensive investment here in Canada so I’m asking lots of questions and watching lots of videos to make up my mind. I really appreciate your help with this.
I completely understand, it's definitely a large investment. As I haven't personally used it the way you're inquiring about, I reached out in one of my Ankarsrum groups on FB. Below are my question and the response I received: Q - Has anyone used their Ank to mix and knead ancient grains for sourdough before the bulk ferment? And could you possibly replace the need to stretch and fold through the kneading process of the Ank? Goal being to save time. A: "Yes. I've replaced the hand process with the Ank. I soak the FMF [fresh milled flour] in the bowl and about 2 hours later add the starter. I mix that for about 4 minutes and rest for about 30 before adding the salt and a little more water...and then mix again. From there, right into BF...I usually try to get one or two folds in...or better yet a lamination." He also mentioned he positions the dial speed between 2 and 3 o'clock. I hope this is helpful for you! I will try to do a test with the grains I have on hand (Kamut and spelt) at some point soon, but this is much faster for the time being! :) I would also add that the Ank is very versatile, so if you do any other baking besides bread you can most certainly use it for cakes, cookies, whipped creams etc....
Hair net or pulled back
Impressed by how silent the machine is 👍🏼
Yes!! So quiet compared to other mixers!
Love my Ank went through 2 kitchen AIDS was going to buy the Bosch it was less money the boche now is 500 w not 800w.The Ank is almost twice the money but you what you pay for ❤❤❤❤.
Definitely agree- it’s so worth the cost if you use it enough! ☺️
Are you concerned with the chirping belt noise that you mixer makes after you turn it on? Mine did not do this for the first month after I bought it, but now it makes that noise.
Hi! I haven’t noticed a chirping sound with mine, or any sounds that would be concerning. If yours has started making a strange sound you may want to contact customer support and hopefully they can offer guidance.
@@farmbread I have sent them a message. The sound I hear from mine, I can hear in yours in the video. That’s why I thought I’d ask ☺️
Hmmm, funny! Could it be the dough knife you’re hearing? Again I don’t notice anything alarming, but am curious now what you hear back!
@@farmbread i think it is the knife, mine does that noise and it is from knife for sure😊
@@IMACTED thanks for your feedback, that must be it! ☺️
Did you warm your milk, or pour it in cold from the fridge? Thanks!
Hi! Yes I warm the milk in a saucepan on the stovetop until it reaches about 105 degrees f.
Do you mill any flour?
Yes I do! I mill my wheat, rye, semolina and corn flours. For my regular sourdough I usually buy an organic bread flour so that I don’t have to sift the germ out. Do you mill as well? ☺️
don't know why my post got deleted, but your new Ankarsrum mixer is an old Danish Design, at that time it was called Ballerup, it was sold to Sweden, so I hope you will love your mixer a little bit more now :)
Aww, that is so kind of you to share! No wonder I love it so much! Thank you! ☺️
The dough roller is not supposed to move back & forth like it's doing in this video. It's supposed to be locked in and only moved manually.
That’s actually not correct. In this video around 17:20, the rep explains why. th-cam.com/video/cB63t9F1IVU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y3bCWsBJwik8C4K5
The roller is meant to squeeze the dough gently between it and the bowl whilst being able to swing into the centre to accommodate any lumps of dough. Perfect kneeding occurs when a donut forms and whizzes around. When time is up and the gluten has formed, dough consistency can be slightly adjusted if necessary.
In this video it shows that the roller can be MANUALLY moved to the center. It is not supposed to move on its own.
Wow! That is one expensive piece of kit! Not in my budget I am afraid! I actually really prefer making bread hands-on throughout. Interesting to watch though!
It’s definitely an investment (or a really nice gift from someone who loves you)! If you’re able to handle everything hands on, even better! It’s a good upper arm workout too! 😁
It’s ridiculously expensive. Double the price of a kitchenaid
@@dungeonmastervengerit’s actually less expensive than the 8 quart K A commercial. You can’t get a DC motor in the KA without buying a commercial unit now.
I've been making bread with this mixer for 20+ years. I don't think you're supposed to be putting your hands or tools into the mixer while it's running. When I bought my mixer the manufacturer recommended using the dough hook for recipes calling for over 6 cups of flour. I use the dough hook for my typical batch of bread that makes 5 loaves of whole wheat bread. Best wishes.
That’s amazing! A good testament to how well made the mixers are. Thank you for sharing!! ☺️
Pretty girl, informative video.
Thank you!
Fabulous review....im a complete novice...but so tempted...wonder if its an investment for a single person though??....im just tierd of terrible store bought bread,thats like cardboad,and full of chemical....has anyone else bought this for a one person household?
Awww thank you so much! I can totally relate with your reasons for wanting to make your own bread!! What I would say is that most if not every loaf I make freezes well. You could make batches and freeze all but one loaf at a time. You could also make one loaf at a time and freeze half of it.
Would you use the mixer for anything else other than breads? If not, it may be more practical to buy something more economical as you’re getting started with bread making until you’re in a good groove and ready to make the investment. When I first started I was using an inexpensive mixer off Amazon that worked decently until I began making frequent large batches.
I hope that’s helpful- let me know if you have any other questions!! ☺️

I'm a single person. I have an Ankarsrum. One of my cousins is also single and she has an Ankarsrum. We're something of an Ankarsrum family. 🙂 Be aware that you can definitely make small recipes in the stainless bowl.
It's really not a matter of intuition, it's a matter of whether or not your dough is forming a doughnut. Also, your mixer's arm shouldn't be rocking while it's kneading.
We can agree to disagree on that. But it is important the arm is not fastened and has the ability to move while kneading.
