7 L stainless bowl, about 5 kg dough, 1500 W in EU documentation, bowl ~45–130 RPM. The roller is for smaller quantities; the hook for larger or stiffer dough. Liquids first. Development looks different from a planetary, so watch the dough, not a clean bowl.

Pros

  • Built for bread-sized batches without straining a planetary gearbox.
  • Relatively gentle and low heat.
  • The roller and the hook let you match the tool to the batch.

Cons

  • It takes practice. The dough will not look like a KitchenAid mix.
  • No credible published minimum. Small batches need the roller and patience.

How the calculator uses this mixer

  • Water temperature. Its friction factor is 9. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 24°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
  • Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 5 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 3.5 kg.

Formulas this mixer handles

The largest single batch for each formula at its own hydration. The limit is the same one the calculator checks your batch against.

Can Ankarsrum Assistent Original mix biga?

Yes. Ankarsrum Assistent Original is suitable for stiff biga dough. Lower hydration reduces usable capacity, so check the batch plan before mixing a stiff preferment.
