Whole Wheat Buttermilk Bread with Your Ankarsrum Assistent Mixer

[@1gr8lpta]

I am a brand new view and am going to subscribe. This is by far the very best demonstration on using the Ankarsrum Mixer for bread making. Over all excellent! I bought an Ankarsrum in 2023 and have been trying to learn how it is used. So far every whole wheat loaf I’ve made with it has been heavy and with an aftertaste. I am 61 and have been making bread for over 40 years off and on. I was just about ready to purchase a different mixer because i am so disheartened. I used the kitchen aid for years, and before that by hand (my very favorite way). But like many my age with arthritis I turned to a mixer. But the kitchen aid was very limiting. I can’t wait to try the way you used this mixer. You are very encouraging. Can’t wait to break out the flour tomorrow. I was holding off trying my hand at sourdough until I was more confident with my Ankarsrum. Love your videos. I watched the one comparing mixers first and then this one. So glad I did.

We agreed this was a very delicious recipe. Thanks

[@aliciadupuy9228]

Alright. I got a "first time making bread" story for you. Its actually my first 3 attempts... So. Lets start from the day i first tried to give it a go. No mixers. No tips n tricks from mom. Just me, youtube, and some old flour I had. And when I say old, I mean, I bought it, fell into a roughly 3 to 4 year depression. Im sure i mixed all the ingredients properly, but apparently, flour has an expiration date when it is stored improperly for just under half a decade. The "dough" would not mix to the right consistancy, no matter how long i mixed, or what i added, it was forever a sticky glob. I threw that mess in the trash. Round 2 Buy new flour. Make sure its bread flour just to be sure! Go thru all the steps. This time it feels like dough!!! Yyyaaaayyyy!! Right!? Wrong. It would not rise. After 3 hours of waiting for SOMETHING, i threw that dough away. Back to store, grab different kind of yeast. Round 3. Everything was going GREAT. Dough feels fantastic! Its rising beautifully!! I grab the pam, spray the pan, let rise for second time. Pop it in the oven. Everything is GREAT!!. Finally!! It is time to pull out the loaf. It looks beautiful. Like PERFECT YALL!! as im setting it on top of the stove, i see it.... my bottle of pam... now that im looking at it, it seems a bit tooooo yellow.... Oh no.... It was no name brand oven cleaner..... My PERFECT loaf.... 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂 Gotta say tho, i sure am working thru my issues with failure.... its definately much easier for me to try again now than it used to be 😊 I used to not even try due to fear of failure so this has been good for me.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

My mouth is hanging open, Alicia! I would never laugh, because I understand the frustration and disappointment. Oh my, oh my. That was a rough start to your bread making journey. Keep at it, making bread is teaches us things. It's almost like being a parent. You nurture this creature and hope it turns out well. It will, in the end. Thank you for sharing your story, I appreciate it very much. Blessings to you on beautiful batches of bread in your future. Love, Michele

[@jw77019]

Why are people going wild over this tacky little mixer? I guesss because the new kitchen aids are so loud and break down.

[@lindapeckett4476]

I wouldn't call it tacky. It does have a retro feel however. It's not small either. Everyone is going crazy for it because of how well it kneads. And it's fairly new to North America. My mother in law just got one for us and herself. It really is amazing.

[@Molly-o4i]

I got my Kitchen Aid as a wedding gift 42 years ago and while it still works, I’ve outgrown its capabilities. My Ankarsrum doesn’t overheat, dance, and the dough doesn’t climb up the roller or hook. It can handle stiff rye bread dough or pie crust.

[@mosesmanaka8109]

A quicker way to divide the dough equally is to have 8 bread pans not 7, and then roll the dough into a log shape and cut it in half, and then each half in half again. Quick and easy.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Yes! You certainly can do that if you don't mind smaller loaves. Blessings, Michele

[@carolwilk282]

Well now you have gone and done it! I really want to get one of those Ankarsrum Assistant mixers! Lovely videos. I have been baking for 35 years but never baked bread until about a little over a year ago. I consider myself still new at it and I have had my share of “bricks” but I am determined to master it. Thank you for the videos, they really help.

I didn't know you couldn't let it rise extra time either. lol Yes, I'm new to bread baking. actually, biscuits are the only baking I'd ever done until last month. my bread has been delicious every time but not always soft. I think I've figured that one out though, with experiementing.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Really! The finger poke test is SO helpful! It can be hard to tell when your dough is ready for the next step. The poke test takes the guesswork out. Being able to turn out a good batch of biscuits is a great skill to have. 😋Keep baking, your baker's intuition is developing. 🦋Michele

[@mencken8]

I’ve baked bread by weight so long this whole process males me uncomfortable……

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hi Rico, I can understand that. Metric measurements are now available on the printable recipes at my website. Still, part of the process of becoming an accomplished home baker involves learning cues to recognizing what the dough is doing and what it needs. I hope the tips I shared in the video are helpful for that. Thank you for stopping by and watching and thank you for your comment. It gave me a push to find a way to add metric measurements to my recipes. Blessings, Michele chocolateboxcottage.tv/videos/buttermilk-bread-ankarsrum-mixer/

ls it ok to buy 6220 model now? (It made 2017.)

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

The 6220 is an excellent machine. The only difference between the 6220 made in 2017 and the 6230 current model is the knobs are plastic. The newer model has metal knobs. If you're in the US it doesn't make any difference as far as how the machine works. If you're in Europe, there was an increase in wattage. But either way, you're going to love your machine. Blessings, Michele

[@kikisuzie8734]

I usually only bake by hand, but have just bought the ankarsrum to do bigger batches. Do you find that you get enough aeration in the dough for a more open structure? Wondering if the dough hook gets more air through?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Are you asking about yeast bread or sourdough? Either way, the Ankarsrum will do a wonderful job. The roller and scraper and much more gentle on the gluten structure than a traditional dough hook, although there are folks who use and love the hook. Really it comes down to experimenting with your particular recipe and learning to read the dough.~Michele

[@pamelakelly8588]

Hello! I have an Ankarsrum mixer and have really enjoyed it. Your bread looks beautiful, and glad to know the proofing test:). I'm wondering if you are familiar with the concept of home milling? I learned about it some time ago now, and it has had big impacts on health and whole wheat flavor/texture. Grain oxidizes immediately after being cracked or ground and loses 90% of its nutrition. Whole grain flours in the stores are not actually whole grain, thus the heavy "brick-like" result (I used to try making pancakes with it when my kids were little). Just wanted to share; the freshly milled wheat makes very light and fluffy bread products! I look forward to seeing some of your other videos:). Thank you!

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

You are right, Pamela! Freshly milled wheat makes wonderful, light, and fluffy bread. I have a KoMo Fidibus 21 mill and it lives right on the kitchen counter, I use it so often.🌼 Michele

I only started baking bread about a month ago. I bake four loaves at a time. I'm looking at purchasing this mixer vs kitchen aid 7 at proline. I'm liking how Ankarshum mimicks hand kneading. can you please share what you put your loaves in after they're baked and where you get whatever you use for them?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hi Sandra, you picked a good time to learn to bake bread. 🌷If you do go with the Ankarsrum Assistent, I think you will be impressed with the way it kneads. I've heard good things about the KitchenAid Proline, also, but have to admit I think the Ankarsrum does a superior job with bread. And it's great for a lot of other kitchen tasks as well. I'll share a link to the blog post with a printable shopping comparison in case you haven't seen it. Be sure to scroll down below the pictures of the mixers to find the shopping comparison. I think you'll find it very helpful. chocolateboxcottage.tv/videos/kitchenaid-vs-bosch-vs-ankarsrum/ As for storing bread, I keep one loaf out for immediate use and freeze the rest. Here is the video showing how to do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHOplqFvgZ2HpbM Or are you asking about the trays in the video? I found those at Home Goods or Ross a couple of years ago. They're not really for food, more for carrying a meal on a plate. Blessings, Michele 🌸

Hello! Have you used the grain mill attachment yet? If so, how well does it work? I just bought my first Ankarsrum mixer TODAY! I’m just starting my bread making journey. 🍞🩵 From Michigan, USA

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Congratulations on your new mixer! The general consensus on the grain mill attachment is that it doesn't grind fine enough. Some people use it as a coffee bean grinder.

[@sj120959]

I received my Ankarsrum the last few days. It’s such an amazing kitchen helper. I love your large bowl you let your dough rest in. Could you please tell me where you purchased your bowl?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Congratulations, Suzanne! You will enjoy your new mixer - it is a wonderful machine. The very large bowl I put the dough in to rise is a McCoy pottery mixing bowl, it's an antique. I inherited a few from my Grandma, but you can often find McCoy pottery in antique stores, thrift shops, and on Craigslist and FaceBook Marketplace. I hope you find one! ~Michele

[@Isaiah41_10]

I have this mixer! I got it *decades* ago when it used to be called something different - I think it's a DLX? I was wondering why you don't use the dough hook to make bread? I haven't made bread in quite a while but I think I used the hook instead. Also, I want to be sure I understand : do you let the roller move freely the whole time you are at the kneading stage or do you lock it in place as you move it?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

This mixer has gone through several name changes, funnily enough. Yours is perhaps a Magic Mill DLX? I have one of those, too. It is white with light up control knobs. As to the dough hook question... The roller and scraper work so extremely well, I don't use the dough hook. In fact, my older Magic Mill DLX didn't even come with a hook. The manufacturer began offering the dough hook simply because people (customers) seemed to expect it. But if you haven't tried the roller and scraper you need to give it a try! When you position the roller, it doesn't "lock" in the traditional sense of the word. Tightening the screw on the arm prevents the roller from hitting the side of the bowl, but it still moves freely towards the middle. It really does work like a pair of hands in the bowl. It is a beautiful design that works well! ~Michele

[@dlibera27]

Greetings. Congratulations on your success. I really enjoy all your video. That said, I'll get right to the point. I wish your recipe measurements were in grams and not cups for a number of reasons.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

I appreciate that. I hope at some point soon to be able to include metric measurements, but I am not there yet. Michele

[@wam0357]

"BRICK" would be an understatement in describing my first whole wheat loaf. Also, the sliding scale was very helpful. Thanks for getting to the point early on in your video, and listing the amount of ingredients, not just the ingredients. Too many so called cooking channels don't do this. I would have been short on the buttermilk required!

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

We've all baked at least one brick along the way! I'm glad you are finding the recipe helpful. You can also print it out from my website. Here's the link: chocolateboxcottage.tv/videos/buttermilk-bread-ankarsrum-mixer/ 🌸 Michele

[@lilybee_]

This a great video and your bread looks delicious. I just baked my first two loaves of bread with my Ank and I love it. I wasn't positive I had the dough right but the bread turned out really good. Do you ever freeze your dough to bake as you need fresh bread? I'm trying to decide whether to clear out the freezer in our refrigerator for bread only or just reserve a shelf for dough.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Congrats on a successful bake! Freezing raw dough requires a separate recipe. I might have to do a video on that. Thanks for the suggestion! 🌷Michele

I bake a lot of bread, primarily sourdough, but yeast breads for at least 40 years. It would be awesome if you used gram measurements in your recipes! Thanks.

I don't know what pans she is using, but the one I have, the USA Aluminized Steel from Amazon is cheap and a very good pan. Easy to use and doesn't stick. I use a little oil in it, but others say you don't have to. This is a good video. I've baked a lot of bread over the last 2 decades or so and everything in here seems spot on. I'm not sure dough can rise "too much" but I guess it doesn't need to rise as long. Now, I did work in a pizza place once where the counter fridge unit we were using went out and the dough got warm and hard to work with (it probably rose too much!!). But pizza dough is a bit more finicky. Just punch down, kneed again, and let rise for a very short period. Then bake.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hello Ace! Thank you always for your kind comments. You always have something nice to say and I appreciate it. Thank you for your suggestions!

[@lanthony2020]

Getting excited about making bread and in the research process. Wheat or gluten allergy can be attributed to introducing whole wheat at 'to young of age,' same as peanut butter allergies. They are difficult to digest, I have been reading. Also, whole wheat is calcium stripping? So, the addition of calcium carbonate (lime), as in corn, is supposed to help? Thanks, Lex

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hi Lex, welcome to the wonderful world of home bread making! I haven't heard of using lime with wheat, only corn. If you're very interested in this subject you might take up sourdough as the sourdough fermentation process is especially beneficial for neutralizing phytic acid which prevents mineral absorption. Or try using sprouted flour. If you want to stick with yeast baking, using multiple rises will give additional time for fermentation to take place and render your bread more digestible. Most any bread recipe can be improved by allowing the dough 2 in-bowl rises + 1 pan rise. I often do this with this recipe, as a matter of a fact. ~Michele

[@David_Newton]

Dear Michele, I bought the Ankarsrum one month ago after my old Kenwood Major began having issues with larger dough. I must say that my learning curve with the Ankarsrum has been pretty steep. I started using the hook with maybe too much flour. The dough was more outside than inside of the bowl. It grew out of it. What a mess!! Yesterday I made another batch of bread, maybe the fifth or sixth try. Still not quite happy. It demands that I am present to prevent any dough getting out of the bowl, even with only one kilo wheat flour. I have been looking through several videos on KZbin and finally I found your video. I thought that the roller should be in contact with the bowl in order to rotate. But no. It should be adjusted and moved throughout the kneading process. Looking forward to my next batch now. Thank you very much for your informative and pleasant presentation. Greetings from Norway.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hi David, you are not alone. Many new owners mistakenly start with the hook. The mixer originally only came with roller and scraper (sometimes called "blade" instead of scraper). Ankarsrum added the hook primarily because Americans expected one and did not understand the function of the roller and scraper, which work exactly like a pair of hands in the bowl. This gives amazing dough quality due to gentle handling without tearing the gluten. Just like hands, the roller and scraper will press the dough and develop it to perfection. They need to flex to do that, so you are correct in that they should not be tight against the bowl. This is a common misconception. Now that you know this, you will get much better results and I am happy I could help! Blessings and happy baking! Michele I have several other recipes and videos using the Ankarsrum Assistent mixer on my website and on the KZbin channel.
