Ankarsrum Assistent Original Mixer
Swedish-engineered with a 600W motor and unique roller & scraper kneading system. The 7.4 qt bowl handles up to 15 lbs of dough — ideal for sourdough, artisan bread, and gentle dough work.
Why Choose the Assistent Original?
The Ankarsrum Assistent Original is built for bakers who care about dough quality above all else
Gentle Yet Powerful
The 600W motor drives the roller and scraper system, which works differently from a traditional dough hook. It develops gluten gently without overheating the dough — a real advantage for sourdough and artisan breads.
7.4 Qt Bowl
The 7.4 qt stainless steel bowl handles up to 15 lbs of dough — roughly 5-6 standard loaves. Batch bake for the week in a single mix.
Built for Generations
Made in Sweden with a 7-year warranty — one of the longest in the industry. Ankarsrum has been making mixers since 1940. Built for long-term daily use.
Technical Specifications
What's Included
Everything you need to start baking right out of the box
🔄Roller
The signature Ankarsrum roller stretches dough gently against the bowl wall, developing gluten without tearing
🥄Scraper
Works with the roller — folds dough back into the roller path, replicating the stretch-and-fold technique
🪝Dough Hook
Traditional hook attachment for stiffer doughs like bagels, pretzels, and heavy whole-grain breads
🥣7.4 qt SS Bowl
Stainless steel construction handles large batches with ease
🫙Spatula
Food-grade spatula for scraping down the bowl and mixing in ingredients
Variable Dial Speed Guide
The Ankarsrum uses a smooth variable speed dial — no fixed speeds. Here are the recommended ranges for common tasks.
| Speed | Best For | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Incorporating ingredients, gentle folding | Combining flour & liquids, folding in sourdough starter, delicate add-ins |
| Medium-Low | Kneading bread dough | Sourdough, artisan bread, whole wheat — 8-12 minutes |
| Medium | General mixing, cookie dough | Cookie dough, cake batter, muffins, pizza dough |
| Medium-High | Whipping, beating (with whisk) | Whipped cream, meringue, beaten eggs |
| High | Maximum speed for light tasks | Stiff peaks, rapid whipping, airy batters |

What the Ankarsrum Does Best
The roller and scraper system excels at doughs that need gentle, thorough development
🍞Sourdough
The roller and scraper system is perfect for sourdough. It gently stretches and folds the dough, building strength without overworking the gluten — exactly what naturally leavened breads need.
🥖Artisan Bread
High-hydration artisan doughs thrive in the Ankarsrum. The rotating bowl and roller handle wet, sticky doughs that would climb a traditional dough hook.
🧈Gentle Dough
Brioche, challah, and enriched doughs benefit from the gentle kneading action. The roller develops gluten gradually without generating excessive heat.
🥐Pastry
The scraper and low-speed settings make the Ankarsrum excellent for pie dough and pastry — mix just enough without overworking, keeping butter cold and layers flaky.
