Bread trough Bread trough A bread trough, dough trough or kneading trough, sometimes referred to as artesa, is a rectangular receptacle with a shallow basin, and a traditional kneading tool used for the making of dough. The wooden form has been used in Europe for centuries in breadmaking. A kneading trough ( "mishereth") is a term for the vessel in which dough, after being mixed and leavened, was left to swell or ferment (; ; ). The dough in the vessels at the time of The Exodus was still unleavened, because the people were compelled to withdraw in haste.((Eastons)) The first citation
