Home mixers weren’t built for bread. We fixed that.

Ever tried to make dough in your regular mixer?

The results aren’t pretty: Clumpy texture. Stodgy bread. Overheated motors.

So, we took the same dough-making technology that professional bakers have used for decades and packed it into a countertop machine.

Introducing Ooni Halo Core.

Its secret? Spiral mixing.

In a regular mixer, a single hook chases your dough around the bowl — like someone trying to knead with one hand tied behind their back.

But in a spiral mixer, three synchronised attachments fold and stretch dough as one, replicating the precise and powerful dual-kneading action of a skilled baker’s hands.

The result: Stronger dough, softer loaves and a higher rise.

Pottstown's GoFourth organizers

will dissolve after a 10-year run

The Pottstown Mercury reports that GoFourth organizers are dissolving the volunteer group after a 10-year run.

Co-chairs Amy Wolf and Amy Francis said they wanted to get through the country's 250th, and then stop. The Pottstown Rotary Club's July 4th Parade is a separate event and continues; the festival and fireworks will not, unless someone else picks them up.

Library elevator about half funded;

L'oe Show will raise money Sept. 3-6

The Pottstown Mercury reports the Pottstown Regional Public Library has raised $67,000 of a $125,000 goal to replace the elevator that stopped working May 30.

The second floor is mostly closed, and families with strollers have been coming less often. L'oe Show, Sept. 3 through 6, chose the library as this year's fundraising partner, including custom license plates on Sunday, Sept. 6, with 100 percent of plate proceeds going to the library.

The money will pay for a professional study of capital upgrades at the downtown High Street theatre.
