Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't know about a but I've used and owned Kitchen Aid mixers for about 45 years now. When making bread, use the dough hook and don't put all the flour in at once. Stop mixer periodically and scrape the sides down, making sure that all the flour is getting incorporated. Continue with the dough hook until you have a velvety smooth dough which springs back nicely at a touch. The amount of flour needed per recipe of bread depends on the amount of moisture in the flour and in the air. Some flour is dryer than others, and I usually have to adjust the addition of flour up or down depending on brand of flour, storage of flour and humidity in the air. Hope this helps! Enjoy your new Kitchen Aid. I've been baking since I was 11 and as of Saturday I am now 59 and I've only gone through 2 Kitchen Aid mixers. Great workhorses for the money!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 This is good to know because I really want one of these along with a pressure cooker. I was looking at the big ones but Donna told me that the handheld ones are great and don't take up near as much room.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I agree with this - it took me a LONG time to perfect the use of the dough hook w/my Kitchen Aid, and this sounds just like what I do! Once it becomes routine, you will LOVE using it for bread!!! , treazure noname <treazured wrote: > > I don't know about a but I've used and owned Kitchen Aid mixers for about 45 years now. > > When making bread, use the dough hook and don't put all the flour in at once.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I make bread in my kitchen Aid, all the time. I quit buying bread, so make 6 loaves a week. I suggest that you sponge the dough first. That is a preliminary stage where you put the water, about half the flour, the yeast and the sugar or honey in the mixer and let it go until completely mixed. then turn it off and let the yeast act so that it is frothy and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Then add the salt, oil and about half of the rest of the flour and proceed as usual. That way, you are sure that everything is mixing in properly before you get to the kneed stage. Don't try to use a recipe calling for less than about 4-5 cups of flour, though. The dough may not clean the bowl and the mass isn't enough to kneed properly in the large bowl. Katie ..

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I would sell mine in a minute if I could get 1/2 of what I paid for it...heck, maybe even less. I just don't bake any more and it sits there on the counter starinig at me. I use my immersion blender or my food processer only.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I absolutely love my Kitchen Aid. I am on my second one--the really big one because the first one would not do those double batches of cookies that I like to bake. I have tried hand held mixers and they are never strong enough to do much of anything. Because my big Kitchen Aid mixer is a major cooking priority, it gets a space on the kitchen counter before the food processor, microwave, coffee pot, and toaster oven are even considered. It just got a big work out for the holiday season with cookies, pies, cakes, etc. I cannot imagine cooking without it. Kathleen This is good to know because I really want one of these along with a pressure cooker. I was looking at the big ones but Donna told me that the hand held ones are great and don't take up near as much room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
