This machine does NOT make bread well. Only the lightest of bread recipes will be able to be mixed with this unit.My 'typical' bread recipe:5 cups flour1 7/8 cups water1.5-2 Tbsp sugar1 tsp salt2-3oz oil1-2 tsp yeastReceived unit as Christmas gift (2014) and tried my basic bread recipe. Unit began to mix, then bogged down before finishing. Had to use my old 1980's Oster Kitchen Center to finish mixing the dough (becasue I didn't want to throw it away). Am waiting for RMA to return.Perhaps this unit is good for mixing cookies, or cake recipes, or beating/whipping cream/butter. But do NOT buy this unit for mixing bread.

I have been making bread with mine since day one! I haven't had any problems with it and even let my bread sit and rise in the bowl and then turn it on low to knead the bread! I have used it mostly for bread and stiff dough and as long as you keep it on low and don't get in a hurry....it doesn't even heat up? I have made dough for pretzels, regulat white bread, pizza dough, and even wheat bread "which seems to get the thickest and stalls it a little more, but has been doing just fine for me! Just don't make the mistake that I did on my first one and try to do butter and walk away for a min or two because the butter will turn out of nowhere and splash all of the cream or whey out "even with a towel over it" and if it gets under the unit...it will suck up into the fan which is right under neath the unit about a 1/4 of an inch from the work surface and will suck up into the motor and burn up or short out the unit! But other than that...I have made about 50 loaves of every kind of bread you can make in the last 3 or 4 weeks and use it daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and I have no problem! Yes a cover and maybe a little more power would be nice, but I can make 2 BIG loafs of any kind of bread in it and I have had no problems, just do the dough on low to #2 until it gets thick and turn it down to low, let it rise and put it back on low for 5 mins to knead the bread!

I have had mine (Cuisinart) for about a year and I love it. It makes wonderful bread and dough. I use it a lot, several times a week.

Almost the same consistency; my question is the amount recommended for bread/pizza dough?

Yes, it works fine for bread. I've used it to bake round loaves of whole wheat bread using a King Arthur flour bread "formula" and it makes a nice browned crusty loaf. I've since gotten a Lodge combo cooker which is the same size but has handles on top and bottom making it easier to heft into the oven. They work the same.

Although it is a great mixer, I don't think it is heavy duty enough to use on bread dough.

I have made pizza dough and bread with great results. I suppose it all depends on the receipe you use. My suggestion would be to visit their website or better yet call and ask them specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

When I had a bread machine I was very happy not to have the paddle come loose in the bread. Maybe if you grease the paddle well before putting in dough it will release the bread more easily and you won't have to pull it from your loaf. If your paddle has a nonstick coating this may work.

To be honest, I haven't attempted kneading dough. I use it mainly to prep vegetables,grate/shred cheese, and mixing liquids.

As far as I know, the machine will handle just about anything you can throw at it. I make bread all the time. If the dough is very wet, you would probably use the paddle rather than the dough hook, but I would start with the dough hook to see.

My wife has used it to easily make salsa, soup, green smoothies, and nut butter. She hasn't tried to make dough with it yet.

Have not tried it and am not sure how it would work.Gluten formation odds the hallmark of bread making. I would consult King Arthur website.

I just made a huge batch of thick oatmeal cookies and it worked great. I don't know about bread but I would not suggest it since it does not work with the dough hook, just the cookie paddles and wire whips.

I've had it for 6 months. I've made probably 30 loaves of bread. I love it! I'd say you will have no problem making pizza dough. I make four loaves of bread at a time.

I haven't tried that yet, but I think it should work great along with the authentic foods dough enhancer. Hope this helps.

I have used it cutting hot fresh bread from an oven but not from a bread machine so really do not know. I have cut fresh croissants carefully with it and it did not squish it at all.

Yes it will work well making dough for doughnuts, just use the bread mixer parts instead of the blender parts. :) It is great for mixing anything really. I love my new mixer and it make's my life so much more easier.
