Can this machine let the dough rise but not bake, for pizza dough?

You can make the dough, let it rise for a bit, take it out and bake it. My daughter does this for cinnamon rolls.

Yes, there is a dough cycle that mixes, kneads and rises but does not bake. I use it all the time for pizza and sticky bun recipes.

Yes, it can. It works fabulously, and I think it even has an option for gluten free dough if you so require it.

Yes, with some difficulty. You have to set a separate timer to remove the paddle before the last rise. You set the machine on pause, take the dough out and then put it back in and push start to finish the cycle.

Yes. It has a setting specific to dough. That cycle stops when it is time for the dough to setup.

I have never used that setting, but I guess you could try it and see how the bread comes out.This is a good bread machine, I am happy with it.

I suggest you go see the manufacturer's site to see videos of how it works and also on Youtube by searching "ActiFry". I had a look on how puri is made and I think it will not work in this machine because this machine stirs constantly. It could also get stuck as the dough is very soft material.

Had no problem with that but my dough wasn't right and it stuck to maker. Good luck

It does have a dough only setting. It worked fine. It also has some mechanical issues - one of the paddles stopped working altogether.

Yes you can. The machine will knead the ingredients/dough. Just follow the recipe to add ingredients in order and the instructions via the machine itself. Hope that helps.

Maybe...is my best guess. When I make a yeast dough for pizza or flatbread, I know I have to work the dough or it just springs back. So, if you are already working the dough, I would think that a rolling pin or if you are adventurous, a few tosses overhead to stretch the dough. I do see how the press would give you a nice flat round. I just don't think it would be any faster or more efficient since you couldn't just punch down the dough and press it. I think you would still have to work the dough and stretch it by hand before you press it. On the other hand, it would give you a nice, thin, even piece of dough (do you really want it that thin?)

sure it can ! just put in your ingredients and let it do the mixing for you. Sometimes I make the dough in the machine and bake it in the oven instead of the machine. It's nice to use it that way too, kind of keeps the mess in one place.

I have a recipe for 2 pretty good sized loaves of Sourdough and it holds the bowl quite easily. It really depends on the container you use to raise the dough - it is pretty large. I haven't had to clean it yet, and probably won't much as the dough doesn't touch any of the surfaces of the machine - just the container you use to raise it. Great product - ingenious design - worth the investment in my opinion!

I use a parchment liner in this bowl for wetter doughs. I have only used this for a final rise.

You can but probably wouldn't rise the way you want because it is non-stick. Angel food needs to "climb" as it bakes to stay light.

I'm not sure what you mean by rising dough. If you mean you just want the machine to prep the dough, it will work the same, just make a smaller ball of dough. The small machine yields enough for a 1 lb. loaf opposed to 2.5 with the large Zo. I like the smaller model for a number of reasons. It takes less space. It makes just enough for 2-3 people over a few days. And smaller loaves mean I can make different types without waste. I love my little Zo. I've never regretted purchasing the smaller model.

This machine is good for making pie crusts or even pizza dough... but not kneading dough in the process for making bread.

The mixer will work for lower volume dough but not as well because it is designed for large batches. I used it to make pizza dough, only using a total of 4 c. My experience is it just takes a bit more time to get the dough thoroughly mixed before it really starts kneading it. Hope this helps.

It may be irrelevant by now but it does have a dough setting and it does have a timer where you can program the machine to start when you want.
