That Sourdough Gal Rebekah Parr · reviewer · Oct 2025

The Ooni spiral mixer is an absolute gem for any kind of dough. Bread, pasta, pizza, bagels, you name it – the Ooni will mix and strengthen it in record time. Its design is clearly made to mix doughs as effectively as a commercial machine. I truly feel it has brought the power and effectiveness of huge commercial stand mixers to my kitchen. It can do other things if you switch from the dough hook to the whisk or beater attachment, but it shines with dough.

But after six months or so of intensive use, I think it is safe to say that the Ooni Halo Pro is the best home-baker-sized mixer for bread I've owned , and one I'd recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who bakes bread regularly and has the scratch to afford the $800 ticket price.

The Halo Pro is better for bakers who need more capacity and want more controls. Its larger bowl lets me comfortably make four or five loaves of bread at once, which is helpful when I am baking for a gathering, recipe testing, or making several loaves to share.
