Review on 🥖 Bosch Universal Mixer Dough Hook Extender: Enhance Your Baking Experience! by Jon Booth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Disappointing Bosch Universal Plus? READ IT.

There are issues/complaints that Bosch Universal Plus (BUP) owners have wrestled with, worked to fix and brainstormed. (Are you feeling frustrated?) There, FOREVER! Examples: 1. BUP cannot use the low yield formula. This is GREAT for a large batch of dough, but TERRIBLE for a typical small batch of a couple of loaves.2. With a wetter dough (high hydration), BUP will not knead the dough properly. The dough wraps around the center stand and is not kneaded by the dough hook.3. BUPs are difficult to clean due to mixture getting caught in the grooved center bar and latches. Personally, I've shared those frustrations and come up with my own workarounds, but - who wants a workaround? This extension, which attaches to the center spindle below the dough hook and attaches the short handlebars of the original dough hook (and goes to the bottom of the bowl), put an end to all my hacks. It captures EVERYTHING! It can be used with a TINY batch or a HUGE batch. As a result, BUPI works better in every respect. I haven't made the ciabatta yet, but I made a very moist (and gooey and buttery) SUPER flaxseed bread that's about 80% moisture. BUP with this attachment kills him. For a triple batch, I removed about 10 flaxseeds from the serrated portion and about 5 from the lid latch. (Whisc NOTHING) Bosch owners, you can put that dough creeper away. This is a MUST buy. I don't work for Bosch, Revain, NutriMill or anyone else. I just love to bake. I can't wait to make this a regular hydration dough. HOORAY!
