Dough Rolling Machine

[ambster]

Hi Everyone, Does anybody have any advice on which the best dough rolling machines are? Looking at buying one asap.

Many thanks in advance.

I had a look at a few, but couldn't find one suitably priced. I asked a friendly pizzaiolo while back home, how looked at me in horror. Apparently, you shouldn't "press" the dough, but stretch it until it's thin enough...

I didn't know that you could get such a thing. If it is for pizza's, it's best to do by hand. Quite agree with Spinal, you should stretch the dough on the back of your hands, using your knuckles....well, that's they way I do it anyway.

A dough roller?.....shocking!!!

Shocking but many mobile Wood-fired ovens operating in the UK use these. The high end vendors who pay silly money for a pitch at major events must use one of these to make a profit. It does only take 90 seconds to bake a pizza in a WFO but as the dough has to be kept chilled in storage it takes a couple of minutes to stretch one out by hand and seconds to produce a base with a machine.

I know from my experience last year when I used my mobile WFO at events....dough management was my biggest problem.

I haven't bought one myself but e-bay has lots for sale new and second-hand. The NCASS website is good for things like that but you need to be a member to access all parts of their site.

Best of luck.

There is someone selling this pizza dough rolling machine.. t.co/U3NqMibR96 ...it's a year old but maybe worth contacting him for a price. I shall send you his details in a PM (private message) to you. I'll leave it up to you if you want to make contact with him.

Thanks for your replies everyone. Rolling by hand in the quantities that i need to be doing are really slowing us down, hence the need for a rolling machine, otherwise i would agree with you, hand rolled is best!
