The Hobart 00-23501 Dough Hook is a mixer attachment used with compatible 12-quart commercial mixers. Its spiral design moves dough through the mixing bowl during preparation of bread, pizza, bagel, and other yeast-based dough products. Manufactured for food preparation applications, the attachment connects directly to the mixer agitator system and operates as part of the mixing process. It is commonly used in bakeries, restaurants, cafeterias, and commercial kitchens where dough production is part of daily operations. Replacing a worn or damaged dough hook restores proper dough mixing action and ingredient incorporation.
