A planetary stand mixer beats dough. A spiral mixer kneads it, the way hands do, with the bowl turning against a fixed hook and a breaker bar. The gluten develops in half the time and the dough comes out smooth and strong. This is that machine in a size that fits a home counter, and with the beater and whisk it does cakes and meringue too.
The LADJA team uses it for:
- 5 kg batches of 70% hydration pizza dough for weekend pop-ups
- 1 kg of ladenia dough on slow speed, then the beater to work in the olive oil
- Bread dough that would wear out a normal mixer
- Sponge and meringue with the whisk
"Spiral or planetary?" Spiral if dough is the main job. It kneads faster and gentler, and 5 kg of pizza dough is nothing to it. Planetary if you mostly make cakes.
