&ldquo;How does this unit fair with preparing DOUGH (Flour &amp; Butter together)?&rdquo;

I find it works very well. Just make sure you use a recipe that calls for two cups of flour only. I use it for making biscuits and one pie crust. Butter blends in just as good as in the larger units.

I spray both sides (the metal part) with cooking spray and just slide the white part of the unit back/forth and it falls through. Some of the dough just falls through on its own - I guess from the weight. I actually followed the instructions from this You Tube video -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW1TJWei6Uo

The neat thing about this yeast, is that you add it dry to the flour, mix it in a bit and then use warm water to mix the dough. No more proofing the yeast. It works great.

I usually use mine to mix cookie dough or batter for pastries. I mixed a cinnamon roll type dough with it, and there were no problems. I like mine very much - and pleased with the overall quality. I'm not a professional baker, so I didn't think a $300 stand mixer was worth my time...which is why this appealed to me. I don't like the pouring shield though - it got in the way, so I just removed it.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

It really does not have a dough only setting but you can let it mix, do a rise and remove it at any time then and make like a French loaf shape..I did that today. Worked! Also it beeps between settings so it alerts you to the times to either add, or remove the mixing blade before the second rise and baking...I do like it, the only thing is it is tall and for a short person hard to read the settings...

I can't answer that specifically. But, what I can tll you is that it makes any rolling using a pin a breeze. Dough doesn't stick once floured and dough comes easily off mat...hope this helps

I never tried that because I do it the old fashioned way. My hands tell me when the moisture in the dough is OK. Screw this tech stuff. Much more enjoyable folding and pushing dough around with your hands. Try it. You might like it. Ed Lange

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.

The mat adheres to the counter extremely well. I do sprinkle a small amount of flour all over the top of the mat to prevent any sticking of dough. Maybe not necessary, just something I always saw my mother and grandmother do.

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

I put the dough in a Styrofoam cooler with a 60 watt light and dimmer switch. In the top I place a therometer. The temperature is regulated with the dimmer switch. If the bowl with the dough won't fit, set it on an upside down in the bottom. I have used this for years. Works great and cost minimal.

I didn't have any problems with mixing it with flour, when I made cloud dough (flour, oil, and the powdered paint). just an FYI though, one of my staff had a minor allergic reaction when she touched it. but you should be good to go.

I never saw where it came with a dough hook--mine certainly didn't, and I don't think this particular model is strong enough to even knead dough, or sturdy enough. It's difficult enough to knead doughs with a powerful mixer, I've never heard of doing it with a food processor. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Working surface out. That way the edges will curl down when it's in use and your dough will help press it flat.

I have used mine for a year--exclusively for baking bread. I put flour in the pan--no oil--shake it around. Then I put the dough in the pan, let it rise, and bake. It comes out easily. I have washed by hand or in the dishwasher and no residue.

Hi Linda, i live in Perú and i only prepare cookies, the dough has to be very soft, enough to let it go out through the small slots of the disks. If its too dry its not easy and dough will not go out. Hope it will help you
