Home mixers weren’t built for bread. We fixed that.
Ever tried to make dough in your regular mixer?
The results aren’t pretty: Clumpy texture. Stodgy bread. Overheated motors.
So, we took the same dough-making technology that professional bakers have used for decades and packed it into a countertop machine.
Introducing Ooni Halo Core.
Its secret? Spiral mixing.
In a regular mixer, a single hook chases your dough around the bowl — like someone trying to knead with one hand tied behind their back.
But in a spiral mixer, three synchronised attachments fold and stretch dough as one, replicating the precise and powerful dual-kneading action of a skilled baker’s hands.
The result: Stronger dough, softer loaves and a higher rise.
