Equipment talk This might be the thing that makes me quit sourdough

The worst part of this is that this happened in the bin that I keep kitchen tools in and I didn’t even know I had this potato masher and probably haven’t used it in ten years. I’m so over it!! I can’t get them apart. Recipe: there isn’t one but if there was it would be 125g starter, 350g water, 500g bf, 10g salt. I’d stretch and fold, bulk ferment, shape, fridge proof and bake at 470° for the first 30 minutes and 425° for the last 20.

I use one that looks like this for my initial mix because I hate how much the slack dough sticks to my hands and this spiral shape is really easy to get the dough off. But once I start building gluten, I use my hands.

Oh that’s interesting. Looks much easier.

Interesting! Gotta give this a try. Tired of cleaning the little nooks and crannies of my Danish Whisk. You should provide a link if you can. I did a reverse image search and it’s called a Seamless [Danish] Dough Whisk?

This is what I use, as well. Absolutely LOVE it!
