Alan:

It's King Arthur item number 5568

Dough Whisk (5568)

Experienced bread bakers rely on this sturdy, 15-inch, wood-handled
brodpisker, or Dough Whisk, for everything from the stiffest bread
dough to the most delicate pancake or muffin batter. We've sold
thousands of these whisks over the years; we use them at our national
bread-baking classes, and once folks see how they work, they just
have to have one! We now offer this whisk with our centuries old
King Arthur logo.

$9.95 US + s/h

You should be able to find it by item number or by searching for "whisk"
under "bread baking" using the web site catalog word search feature.

Truly a fine classic baker's tool.

Cheers,
The Old Bear

Without a doubt, my bench scraper (dough knife) is the best tool I
have. It is great for handling wet dough, essential for cleaning my
work surface (from baking or from other kitchen endeavors). I keep it
out while cooking meals, using it to scoop up and carry chopped
ingredients to the stove, to clean of my cutting board, and to scoop
up spills. Get one...Matt

Well, next to my hands, I would say that my favorite baking gadget is my
food processor. I can use it to make yeast dough and to cut fat into pastry
dough. You can use it for making crumbs, chopping nuts, slicing fruit,
making purees, processing stewed fruit for lekvar. I'm sure there are many
other uses that I didn't list.

I don't mean to sound nasty or anything, but my best baking tool is -
my hands!

(Seriously!)
