Bread baking is a hobby you should try. But just as a painter can't work without a canvas, you need all sorts of things to update your culinary skills.
Some types of bread can be made with simple utensils you already have at home. But if you start mastering more exotic types of bread or making simple bread of higher quality and in larger quantities, you'll need to equip your kitchen.
Here's a list of the basics that every baker needs to make really good bread
Bowls: a must in any kitchen, but for those of us who are passionate about baking, this may not be enough. We make so many different mixes that our bowls get empty quickly. It can be difficult to wash bowls in the dishwasher, so it's a good idea to have extra bowls on hand. You also need to make sure you have a bowl large enough for the amount of bread you will be baking. For this reason, it is advisable to use a separate bowl specifically for baking. This is essential if you want to make gluten-free bread.
Spoons - Like bowls, spoons are found in most kitchens, but perhaps not in the quantity or quality required by your bread machine. You'll need plenty of large, quality spoons, preferably ones that are only used for baking. Try also: Affordable Bread
Knives - You need a large serrated knife to cut the bread you made yourself. It is difficult to cut bread with anything other than a bread knife. You need a serrated blade to cut through the crust, and for large loaves of bread, it needs to be long enough to cut all the way through. An unsuitable knife for this purpose can make the bread unsightly, as it will be split, torn, or shredded trying to cut it evenly.
A slicer is also a necessity if you want your bread to look artistic and attractive. It is very difficult to cut bread evenly. Not only can the size of the bread vary, but individual slices can also be oddly shaped.
To keep bread fresh, the packaging is important. Plastic containers that seal extend the shelf life of bread. Bread can dry out overnight if it sits on the counter.
Fresh ingredients - Keep track of your ingredient supply. You don't want to find out in the middle of baking a loaf that you are missing something you need. Exotic bread may require special ingredients such as spices, dried fruit, or nuts. You need to be able to replace ingredients not only when they run out, but also when they are no longer fresh.
Machines - Bread machines are the perfect way to make great bread. With this device, you can literally make bread all night long or even while working. It's a must-have for the most demanding bakers.
But don't think you have to buy everything at once. Start with what you need and add to the equipment as needed.
