I have lived with other counter tops formica and corian specifically.
If your dough is chilled and you don t have a cold surface to work with it then wood would be better because wood is a better insulator.
In this article we suggest.
At various work places i have worked dough on wood and metal surfaces.
I have a 8 000 marble granite kitchen top.
There s no reason why you can t roll dough out on a granite or other stone countertop.
Best kneading countertop materials.
In fact stone counters are excellent for pastry work because you can chill them by running a pot filled with ice over the surface.
Chill the granite put ice in a cake pan and set it on the granite for 20 minutes.
Before placing the dough on the work surface lightly dust the surface as well as your hands with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
I roll my dough on it its too smooth to roll than wooden but i dont want to waste 20 on a wooden 5x10 piece.
Clean rag and dry with a cotton dishtowel.
Don t treat the surface before kneading the dough on it and wipe it down first with soap and water.
Chill the dough overnight if possible.
Granite sucks the temperture thats why its so good to use for tempering chocolat.
And it is a great surface for working dough.
Work fast and keep the dough not in use refrigerated.
Marble or granite are the same temperature as any other material in your kitchen unless they are chilled in the refrigerator.
There are alot of pastry sheet for rolling dough reviews on internet.
One con about granite is it sticks quick so spray more flour.
It seems like whenever i make my own dough then pizza my counter top is a nightmare.
That s why quartz is a baker s choice quartz counters are one more way to keep your family chemical free.
There has to be an easier way.
