- Bread Slicers – Bread slicers help to create perfectly sliced bread. They allow you to make similar-sized bread slices versus making a slice too big, too small, lopsided, etc.
- Bread Thermometers – These inexpensive digital tools are used to measure the internal temperature of your homemade bread & baked goods. A great way for determining if your baked good is fully baked.
- “Mom” Cutting Boards – These cutting boards are dedicated to all of the fantastic Moms out there. Great for Mother’s Day, birthdays, etc.
- Sourdough Bread Kits – These kits often have all of the tools & instructions needed to create delicious sourdough bread. They usually include things such as sourdough measuring jars, lames (dough scoring tools), proofing baskets, etc.
- Zojirushi BB-PDC20BA Home Bakery Virtuoso Plus Breadmaker – This is a large premium bread machine with tons of bells & whistles. It creates large 2 lb loaves that look more like traditional sandwich loaves (versus the usual “brick” shape for many bread machine loaves). Best for families who eat a lot of bread.
- Dutch Oven – This bread tool is often used for making artisan no-knead bread. A Dutch oven bakes & “steams” the bread in your oven. This usually results in a bread with a crispy outside and soft interior.
- Bread Lame – A specialized (but inexpensive) tool used for “scoring” the tops of bread. Scoring helps to prevent uncontrol bread “bursts”, etc.
- Baguette Pans – These bread pans help you to shape the perfect baguette (French bread).
- Bread Making Books – These books provide tons of lessons on how to make easy beginner breads and/or advanced artisan breads.
- Kitchen Scales – One of the biggest problems in making bread is inaccurate ingredient measurements. Kitchen scales help to solve that problem (if the recipe provides ingredients in grams or ounces). This tool is used by many international bakers because they want greater ingredient accuracy (versus using volume-based measuring cups & spoons).
- Hamburger & Hotdog Bun Molds – These specialized trays allow you to create uniform-sized hamburger & hotdog buns. A great summer barbecue gift!
- Bread Boxes – An attractive tool for keeping bread protected from dust & pests.
- Buttermilk Powder – Buttermilk helps to create softer bread by “tenderizing” the gluten. However, fresh buttermilk can be hard to find in stores. Therefore, you should take a look at powdered buttermilk. It helps you to create liquid buttermilk and it has a longer shelf life than fresh buttermilk.
