Carry out a first test
using the CHOPIN protocol
1. Preparation of the dough
Any mixing bowl in which the temperature of the tank can be controlled and monitored can be used to prepare
the dough. Nevertheless, the homogeneity of the mixture must be assured. The ALVEOGRAPH mixing bowl
matches these requirements perfectly.
Determine the amount of water that needs to be added using the tables shown in Annex 3 of the user's manual.
Mix 5g of dried yeast to 250g of flour.
Start mixer and progressively add the water.
After one minute, stop mixing and, with a spatula, assure that all of the flour has been well hydrated and is well
incorporated into the dough.
Put the dough back and leave it for 6 minutes of mixing. The salt will be progressively added at the beginning of this
six minute period.
Once mixing has been completed, take all of the dough out and weigh 315g.
2. Preparation the test
