Wilfa ProBaker dough capacity and hydration
Wilfa ProBaker is a dough mixer with a Rotating bowl, a 7 litre bowl, a maximum of 5 kg of dough, a 700 W motor, and the ability to knead a stiff biga. Rotating-bowl mixer, ~7 L, ~5 kg advertised. The manual is unusually honest: about 5.0 kg at ~67% hydration, 2.4 kg around 60%, 1.24 kg around 55%. The 5 kg figure is not for stiff pizza dough. Bakers rate it for stiffness-dependent limits are in the manual, not a forum guess., quieter, and the dough climbs the hook less than on a typical planetary., owners report lower dough heating.. Common drawbacks include high-hydration dough around 400–500 g can split between bowl and hook., the advertised 5 kg capacity does not apply to bagel-stiff dough..
