This scale in inexpensvie and works great. My bread results were MUCH better when I weighed my ingredients vs using measuring cups.
Greater Goods Digital Kitchen Scale - Gray
Not a necessity, becasue you can knead your dough by hand. However, this does make the process a little easier and the mixer can be used for multiple cooking needs.
KitchenAid 5-qt Artisan Stand Mixer w/ Pastry Beater and Flex Edge
The curved edge make these great for getting dough out of the bowl. And it you have a more wet dough, you can use these to “knead” in the bowl until the dough starts to come together.
Plastic Bench Scraper - 2 White Bowl Scrapers
I use one to store my bread flour and the other as a dough rising bucket. It's not necessary, you can use a regular mixing bow or the bowl of your stand mixer.
Cambro Round Translucent Container with Lid 6 qt., 2 pk. - Sam's Club
I bake two loaves at a time, so I have two of these loaf pans. They are holding up great! They are nonstick, however, I still butter them before adding my dough.
Wilton Bake It Better Non-Stick Baking Bread Loaf Pan 9x5
I spray the inside with a little baking spray (or whatever you have) and cover the loaves for the second rice. This helps keep the dough moist.
Adama Plastic Shower, Conditioning, Processing Caps, 15 Packs
Gets the job done and comes with a protective sheath.
VITUER 8-Inch Serrated Bread Knife with Cover
I always cool my bread (and other baked goods) on these wire racks.
Wilton Bake It Better Rectangular Cooling Grid Rack Checkered Grid 16" Length x 10" Width
These make me feel so professional. I store my loaves in these fresh or frozen.
Reusable Plastic Bread Bags - 50 Pack
I’m short on counter space and this small rolling pin makes rolling dough easier.
Tianman Marble Rolling Pin T-Type White
The detached screen is magnetic and great for when using larger bowls. My work surface is next to the fridge, so I have the screen on the fridge.
33lb Wireless Digital Kitchen Food Scale
I had ChatGPT revise my recipe to accommodate these larger bread pans. These save me from needing to bake bread as often. They are lightweight and hold up well.
Extra Large 13"x5" Nonstick Bread Pan Set
The power of this motor is chefs (bakers) kiss! And the capacity 🤯 I love my KA, but it could never! Use code CHARDAE20 at checkout to save!
White Universal Plus
My favorite food scale! It's so worth the money! When you think about the weight of the bowl and the ingredients, then the screen pulling out!
OXO Good Grips 11lb Stainless Steel Scale
These fit snug inside a half sheet pan and I cool my bread on these every week.
It's lightweight and can move a little when kneading, rolling, ir shaping. I've found that wiping the surface with a damp cloth before placing the mat down helps it to stick better.
Silicone Pastry Baking Mat 16x24 Inch Non Stick
I use these regularly for white and wheat loves and I've also made pound cake in them.
Wilton Platinum Non-Stick Loaf Pan 9x5x2.75
Ingredients
These are my preferred ingredients.
It's simply the best flour on the market.
King Arthur Bread Flour, 10 lbs. - Sam's Club
Store in the freezer for prolonged freshness. I keep the opened bag in a glass jar in the freezer and the unopened bag in the deep freezer.
Great Value Instant Dry Whole Milk, 39.5 oz Bag, Makes 8 Quarts, 32 Servings per Container
Amazing for wheat bread!
King Arthur Golden Wheat Flour, 5lb Bag
I put the yeast in a mason jar and store in the freezer. It works great!
Red Star Active Dry Yeast 16 oz (1 pound) size
