Why is such an expensive machine sitting on the edge of the counter where if can fall off and get wreaked or hurt someone??

@shovelheezy This was photographed in a teeny tiny studio apartment; this was the only space for the mixer to operate; when not in use it was stored on a shelf... Glad to hear you make good money and have lots of counter space for your appliances! Good for you! Kudos to this GREAT mixer for working so well on such small counter top space, and not moving or being problematic!

Do you use a regular oven? I just ordered a fibrament stone (to try that out) and while my range is self-cleaning, I am a little hesitant to crack it open unless I'm sure the difference will be substantial.

I use a modified "Pizza Deni"countertop oven, and cook pies at 800F on the stone in 2 minutes, and then finish the top of the pie with a cooking blow torch. Very reminiscent of a wood oven. While I could not modify my home oven, I do have a fibrament stone (mainly use it for bread baking), and it's great. The higher temps are worth it if you think you can get there...!

It's not as much about the flour as it is about using a good yeast culture. Use a good starter and it won't matter much if you're using Caputo or KA. With a real good starter you won't be able to tell the difference in flour. And about hand kneading? Traditionalists prefer it, but believe me, the Kitchenaid does as good if not better job of kneading that dough. It's god muscle.

It's true about the yeast. I use the infamous Patsy's NYC culture (via Jeff) and it's great. Wonderful texture and mellow taste...
