A dough kneader, also known as a dough mixer, is a piece of equipment commonly used in commercial bakeries and kitchens to mix and knead the dough for bread, pizza, and other baked goods. Dough kneaders typically consist of a large bowl or container that rotates on a vertical axis. Inside the bowl, there are mixing attachments, such as dough hooks or paddles, that work to combine the ingredients and knead the dough.
