26 Beginning Toys for the Compleate Baker (sic)
I'll need everyone's help in this section. If you truly enjoy bread making,
here's some resources. I'll also note mail order sources, but they're
un-verified (i.e. phone numbers questionable, out of business)
Mixers
Kitchenaid (I own a 20 year old one. Mom passed it down to me)
Bosch
Bread Pans
Chicago Metal
Baker's Secret
Antiques (Mom's, Grandma's)
Misc Implements
Oven Tiles
Pottery raising bowls
Peels
Pizza Stones
Dough (breadboard) Scrapers
Go to any paint or hardware store, find a 5 or 6 inch wide
sheet rock broadknife. Compare the price to an 'official' baker's
scraper in the mail order catalogs. A broadknife works just
fine for me.
Grain Mills
K-TEC Mills
toll free number 1-800-748-5400
Excalibur Flour Mills
wooden cased kits, 5 inch stones, 1/2 HP motor for about $ 250.00
I own one and am very satisfied. My health food store has run
many hundreds of pounds of grains thru their Excalibur Mill.
For info, call Killer Baits Co. (also make fishing lures)

Commercial Restaurant Supply Stores
Check in your Yellow Pages under restaurant supply, call and ask if they'll
sell retail - most will and the quality is remarkably higher and the price
lower than the gourmet speciality "shoppes." Beware, places like this have
been known to extract large sums of money from tyros like me :-) I haven't
been able to convince Colene that my bread would taste SO MUCH BETTER if it
was baked in a Wolf Range oven.... But these stores have so many lovely
accessories and kitchen toys!
