Work dough on granite countertop.
In fact stone counters are excellent for pastry work because you can chill them by running a pot filled with ice over the surface.
Marble or granite are the same temperature as any other material in your kitchen unless they are chilled in the refrigerator.
In this article we suggest.
There are alot of pastry sheet for rolling dough reviews on internet.
I have lived with other counter tops formica and corian specifically.
It s hard to know which is good pastry sheet for rolling dough.
The idea of rolling dough on counters treated with harsh chemicals makes our stomachs lurch.
Granite sucks the temperture thats why its so good to use for tempering chocolat.
At various work places i have worked dough on wood and metal surfaces.
Unlike granite and marble quartz countertops never need to be chemically sealed.
I soend more time trying to wipe it down wet then try to get all the pices of dough off then i windex like crazy honestly last night it took me 45 minutes to clean all this mess.
And it is a great surface for working dough.
Chill the dough overnight if possible.
Before placing the dough on the work surface lightly dust the surface as well as your hands with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
Chill the granite put ice in a cake pan and set it on the granite for 20 minutes.
There s no reason why you can t roll dough out on a granite or other stone countertop.
Don t treat the surface before kneading the dough on it and wipe it down first with soap and water.
I have a 8 000 marble granite kitchen top.
There has to be an easier way.
I roll my dough on it its too smooth to roll than wooden but i dont want to waste 20 on a wooden 5x10 piece.
If your dough is chilled and you don t have a cold surface to work with it then wood would be better because wood is a better insulator.
One con about granite is it sticks quick so spray more flour.
Work fast and keep the dough not in use refrigerated.
It seems like whenever i make my own dough then pizza my counter top is a nightmare.
