What utensils did the romans use for bread as mixers?

Mixers? You mean to mix the flour, water and yeast? Like a spoon or a baker's spatula?

I'm pretty sure a large wooden or pottery mixing/rising bowl (many of the wooden ones are like dugout canoes, oblong rather than round), a spoon or spatula for the early parts of the mixing, then like bakers everywhere, their hands.

There have been found some loaf pans for rising individual loaves, and for last rising of the dough. Some from Pompeii, some made "Mushroom Bread", which is a round loaf that rises over the pan, and is shaped sort of like a mushroom when it is baked.
