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.

—— ON THIS DAY ——
AUGUST 28, 1963
Washington, D.C., USA
63 years ago
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, the massive civil rights demonstration at which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his most famous address.
On August 28, 1963, a quarter of a million people gathered on the National Mall in Washington for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the largest demonstration the American capital had ever seen. Black and white, from across the country, they came to demand civil rights, voting rights, and an end to racial segregation and discrimination. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with the statue of the president who had signed the Emancipation Proclamation looming behind him, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the address that would define the movement and echo through history.
King was the final speaker of the day, and he had prepared a formal text. But as he spoke, moved by the moment and, by some accounts, urged on by the gospel singer Mahalia Jackson to tell them about the dream, he set his notes aside and spoke from the heart. He described his vision of an America where his children would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, and where the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveholders could sit together at a table of brotherhood.
—— MARQUEE EVENT ——
The civil rights movement, the long struggle by Black Americans and their allies for equality and justice, which the March on Washington helped propel toward landmark legislation.
The march was the product of years of organizing and had been envisioned by the labor leader A. Philip Randolph and others. It brought together the major civil rights organizations of the day and featured a program of speakers and musical performances, including Marian Anderson, Mahalia Jackson, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan. The gathering was overwhelmingly peaceful and disciplined, a deliberate demonstration of dignity and resolve in the face of a nation that had long denied its Black citizens their rights.
King's address became one of the most celebrated speeches in American history. Its soaring vision, its rooting of the demand for equality in the nation's own founding promises, and its call for a future of brotherhood gave the civil rights movement a defining statement of purpose. Carried live on television, it reached millions of Americans and helped shift public opinion at a crucial moment in the struggle.
The march and the speech helped build the momentum that led to landmark legislation, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which dismantled the legal architecture of segregation and protected the right to vote. King would be assassinated less than five years later, but the dream he articulated on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial became a permanent part of the American conscience, a standard against which the nation continues to measure itself.
