A marble slab is the perfect surface on which to knead or roll dough, work fondant, or quickly set molten candies. Its cooler-than-room temperature hinders pastry or bread dough from sticking, so less flour is needed to create a friction blanket; less is then incorporated into the dough and the ideal fat-to-flour ratio is maintained. For the confectioner, marble’s cool, polished surface speeds peanut brittle’s or caramel’s even crystallization and is excellent for scraping chocolate curls or folding fondant to aerate it. 2, record 5, English, - pastry%20board
