Dough Trough

A dough trough is a type of kitchen equipment used for mixing and kneading dough. It is typically made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic and has a rectangular shape with high sides to contain the dough. Dough troughs come in various sizes to accommodate different batch sizes of dough.

The main purpose of a dough trough is to provide a large and sturdy container for mixing and kneading dough. It allows for easy manipulation of the dough, ensuring proper hydration and gluten development. The high sides of the trough prevent the dough from spilling over during the mixing process.

Dough troughs are commonly used in commercial bakeries and large-scale food production facilities where large quantities of dough are prepared. They are also used in some home kitchens, especially by avid bakers who prefer to make their own bread and pastries from scratch.

When using a dough trough, it is important to follow proper hygiene practices and clean the trough thoroughly after each use to prevent cross-contamination and ensure food safety.
