And the product to buy…
Kitchen Aid’s all-in-one Bread Baking Bowl and Lid (a new stand-mixer attachment) allows you to mix, knead, prove and bake your sourdough in one bowl. The lid traps the steam in the oven while the ceramic bowl holds heat cooking the dough thoroughly and producing the prized crispy crust.
