Is there a tool to make bread balls? - Young skilled female ceramist wearing light apron throwing clay ball while making ceramic products in modern workshop

I’d like to make bread balls out of already baked soft and moist bread. The tool that I have in mind is akin to an ice cream scoop, but sharpened and thinner (since bread is much softer than frozen cream).

Is there a specialized tool for just that or a technique that would allow to form bread balls avoiding compression (and thus thickening)?



Best Answer

I can't imagine anything would be sharp enough - you have to saw it with a sharp serrated knife to just slice it.

Only think I could think would be maybe to try it frozen with a melon-baller or similar, but it would have to be really soft beforehand - sawing at frozen bread is even harder than at room temperature - but it might prevent compression.

    What tool is used for baking rolls?

    For best results, make sure you're using a pot or dish that's at least 4 inches deep in order to give the bread room to rise as it bakes. A 5 or 6 quart saucepan or stock pot will do a great job \u2013 just make sure it's oven-safe (like this one, which is safe up to 500 degrees F!)
