One thing I've learned about the Ankarsrum is it doesn't like liquid added after flour.  I had been using the Modernist Bread technique of adding a salt slurry after partial mixing.  Tonight I added powdered Diamond Kosher salt right after autolysis.  I mixed on low speed 8 minutes and 15 more minutes slightly faster.  Entertaining to watch the mixing action.

 

A minor problem is I can't seem to lock the arm.  Not sure if I don't have enough strength or if the unit is defective.  And while we're at it, the heavy bowl is a pain for me to clean.
