Is the Ank good for small batches like only 2 oat loaves? I have and Ank and a KA. I usually use the Ank for 4 loaves. If I decide on 2 should I use the KA?
I just bought an Ankarsrum and trying my first mix. I’m using the 4 loaf size of dough. I’m finding it hard to keep the roller near the edge. Is that unusual? I get the feeling it’s not mixing as much as it should. Then again, maybe I’m just worrying too much. The dough seems to be good. I switched to the hook but the dough just climbed up that and I had to watch it and keep pushing it down with a spatula. I had some of that trouble with the roller as well. Thoughts? First time worrier.
I’d been using tbe dough hook for mixing, but after watching the excellent vidieo on mixing in the Ankarsrum, I switched to the roller attachment. Great results–and the dough stayed neatly in the bowl. In earlier batches it had been crawling up the dough hook, and I needed to keep pushing it back. I’m a convert!
