I have a home based baking business and I had to make 2 dozen croissants for a customer. The Brod & Taylor dough sheeter saved me time and a lot of effort. The croissants came out gorgeous and perfect. Worth every penny!!!!!

Makes rolling or laminating dough easy.

It took me a few days of going back and forth between “I am getting this” and “But it’s so expensive, and I can roll the dough by hand.” I weighed all the pros and cons: a tiny NYC kitchen, with the amount of croissants I make weekly and the allure of making a recipe that isn’t a “small batch” because that’s all the counter top space I have all tipped the scale towards buying it. It arrived and my first attempt at making croissants was mediocre. My second attempt wasn’t any better, neither was the third or fourth. But each one strengthened my resolve to learn this machine. After many more attempts I realized the problem wasn’t the machine. It was that I didn’t really understand the dough and I wasn’t responding to it the right way. Hand laminating is different for many reasons: pressure we apply, time it takes, etc. the machine changes all of these factors and once you learn to observe the dough, you’ll have a great time making laminated pastries. When I finally learned that, I am now able to make a standard batch croissant recipe- why put all that work in for only 6 croissants at a time? I do it in half the work time, and can get a flaky, honeycomb texture. I can work the dough on warmer days and days when I don’t have as much time. I love this thing. The way I know is when I ask myself “Would I buy this again?” The answer is a resounding “Yes!”

This dough sheeter is a great addition to my kitchen. I was a little hesitant about the price but I took the chance. Sturdy construction, easy to set up and use, easy to clean. I've used it to make danish pastry (laminated yeast dough) and rolled sugar cookies. Rolling the dough is a breeze. I'll be using this for many years to come!
