I've seen that occur, but by the time it starts the bake cycle, there's no indication of leftover bits in the corners. It doesn't happen all the time with mine, either.

There is only one collapsible paddle that sticks in the bread every time. It kneads and mixes the dough. It doesn't do it for me. Maybe you'll have better results.

I have not had any trouble with this mixer in any kind of dough. I find the thin blades makes it easier to use in thicker dough.Have made lots of cookies with this blender, does anything I have used it for, simple love it.

HI, To answer your question: I found this pan a little disconcerting because the buns turn out a little odd. Round on top but square cut on the sides. I also found that you have to be careful about how much bread dough you put into the pan. If you make your own bread dough. Have not tried box mixes (yet). Otherwise, you end up with very large buns. I also think I have to indent the top of the buns. Oh, the answer to your question, 10 buns. I'm still working on making the perfect hot dog bun as of this writing. I'm sure once I get the hang of making the buns, everything will be ok. Nice pan and easy clean up."PAM" helps a lot. :-) I learned a lot from the other comments. Must try their suggestions.

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

Good day friend. I'm not exactly sure but my assumption would be that the dough will continue to rise and the higher center may be there to prevent the dough from sticking together. Just a thought. I like mine and it works very well.

Make sure everything is screwed on tightly and that your dough is not to thick to push through. I also found that sometimes I needed to let my dough warm up a bit before loading or it was to thick to go through the smaller holes.

I agree with the pasta being too moist. If it comes out of the cutter as a gooey mess all stuck together, try rubbing some flour on each side of the sheet of dough and running it through. The dough actually has to be fairly dry.I run it through the first step several times, then take it down one step at a time until it is the correct thickness. I dust with flour several times during this process as well.

I have made a potatoe starter recipe on the dough cycle and it works just fine. I half my recipe because I'm afraid 6 cups of flour might be too much for it to mix properly. One problem I have with my machine on the dough cycle is the timer doesn't beep at the end anymore. It has quit working.

Yes it kneads dough. You have to use warm ingredients otherwise the yeast doesn't rise. Check a yeast recipe for the recommended temp.Don't use more than 4 cups of flour. I tried 5 cups but it stalled the machine. The unit does not come with a dough blade. You use the sharp s blade.

did you try dry flour to roll your dough ,this always work for me do not put too much pressure its make dough thin and thick various place . i hope this really help good luck.

The only thing I make is cheese straws and the motor is not strong enough to push dough thru. Therefore I have never been able to use it. Sorry&#128530;...

It's possible that your dough is too wet. It should be well floured before putting it on the hot stone. You can also sprinkle some flour on the stone as well. The flour will burn but it might help with easy removal. I had this problem the first time I used the pizza maker but after adjusting my dough, I have not had any difficulty removing the pizza. Good luck!

After it is done kneading the first time, it does a little beep, at least with basic bread it did. For changing pounds, you do that once you select the program mode. Press lbs button to change to 2 and select crust for whatever shade you want, to me Medium is good. Again, I only have made pizza dough and basic white bread, but should be same basic process

I am using the machine for the first time. It's making such a big noise. Stopped the machine and checked it for several times but my effort made no difference. Looking at the manual, it said that means the dough is too dry and adding some water may solve the problem. I will try that solution next time.

It happens almost EVERY single time here as well. I've asked around and have been told that it's normal....?! But I'm really not sure. I've played around with different types of flour, thinking that perhaps the flour was too 'heavy' - didn't make a difference. Whether I do a dense wheat bread or a plain white it happens on and off. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for why and when it comes off and bakes into my bread! I even ordered a replacement paddle but the same issue continues to occur.

I think sometimes the problem is in the paddles. I have had a couple of loaves turn out a bit strange, and usually the reason was that the paddles weren't locked down properly. One time I used too much of a heavy flour with not enough liquid (when experimenting with my own recipe), so that can cause problems as well. Otherwise, everything else has turned out perfectly.
