3 Product overview
Product descripon
In the ALPHA dough mixer from Häussler, you have purchased a very robust and
high-performance device. The dough mixer is easy to clean, easy to operate, almost
maintenance-free and suitable for the producon of all doughs.
The dough mixer is made exclusively from food-safe materials. The mixer bowl, bowl
mounng and dough hook are made from non-rusng stainless steel. The swivel
mounted protecve cover is made from transparent plasc. Raising of the lng head
is assisted by a pneumac spring and is therefore parcularly user-friendly.
The dough mixer uses the tried and tested spiral mixing system. Dierent speeds for
the dough hook and the mixer bowl result in parcularly even mixing and kneading of
the dough, even with small quanes.
The ALPHA 2G model allows for kneading at two kneading speeds – for example for
heavy rye and wholemeal doughs or low-gluten doughs.

6 Good to know – Hefezopf (braided yeast bun) basic recipe
Ingredients for 4 x 450 g Hefezopf (braided yeast bun)
1 kg Häussler Zopf our/type 550
500-600 ml Milk
1 Yeast cube
220 g Sugar
Peel and juice of one lemon
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Egg
60 g Buer
60 g Lard
1 Egg for glazing
Preparaon
Put the our into a bowl and make a fermentaon starter with a lile lukewarm
milk and the yeast. Leave this to prove for 20 minutes. Now knead into a dough with
the rest of the ingredients (approx. 8 minutes). Then add the room temperature
buer and lard and knead for a further 4 minutes. Cover the dough and leave to
prove for around an hour.
Weight the dough out into 450 g porons. Split each poron into three and roll into
approx. 50 cm long strands. Lay the strands next to each other and begin braiding.
Press both ends together rmly. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sugar crystals
and aked almonds to taste. Bake aer a proving me of 30 minutes.
Baking instrucons
In a Häussler wood-red oven: insert at 220° C. Baking me 30-40 minutes.
In a Häussler electric stone oven: top heat 230° C, boom heat 130° C, backing me
30-40 minutes.
In a domesc oven: insert at 220° C baking me 30-40 minutes.

Kneading mes
Our dough mixers are parcularly powerful. Please take care to ensure that
the dough is not kneaded for too long. Because "too much" is bad for the dough as
well. If the gluten is overworked then the bread can no longer rise properly. That's
why each dough mixer has an integrated clock mer which can be used to easily set
the right kneading me and monitor it. For 1-speed machines, the dough is enrely
kneaded at a consistent speed. In contrast, 2-speed machines start mixing slowly
and then knead fast. This is parcularly benecial for wholemeal, wheat or spelt mix
doughs.
