can it mix heavy wheat dough?

We haven't actually used it on heavy wheat dough like whole grain breads, so we can't say "yes" or "no" only that it has handled all other mixing jobs we have done with it.

When using the BEM600XL Handy Stand Mixer to make doughs, do not exceed more then 3 & cups of flour in the recipe regardless of the type of dough being made.

Yes, this machine is a work horse. I absolutely love my mixer. I make huge batches of whole wheat bread at least once a week. I always use the roller option, but for stiffer doughs you might want to use the dough hook. Very high quality mixer. If you're used to other machines, it may take some time to learn how to use this, but it's worth it. Absolutely the best, as far as I'm concerned.

Yes! Make sure to use baking spray with flour though or you could lose chunks.

I've never done bread dough but I can mix a double batch of chocolate chip cookies with no problem. Not sure if this is a good comparison.

No, they do not. I tried using cake mixes, and cookies from scratch. There were always unmixed ingredients in the bottom of the bowl, so I got rid of mine. Wish they'd make a mixer for those of us who do not use it for bread dough!

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.

Yes! It has a very strong motor. Use the dough hook rather than the roller for really stiff doughs.

I believe you can. I have not. I mostly make cinnamon raisin and honey wheat.

Yes. It does make a very heavy bread. I have a Panasonic bread maker. Bread rose fine

Yes. The enhancer just makes the yeast work better. I use it with whole wheat or multi-grain flours to make them rise more so they will have a lighter texture.

This is a very heavy duty cutter that would incorporate the butter/shortening into your dry ingredients. After that, you would need to use a heavy duty mixer with dough hooks or your hands.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it for heavy doughs. I would use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer for that.

Hi Karen. If the bread dough is light, not heavy or stiff, it will do well. If it is chewy and hard you wont be able to mix it or knead it.Regards

I don't think so. You should buy a stand mixer for bread dough. We do sell them and have refurbished ones for about 200 dollars on our amazon store. thank you

I don't see why not. Haven't tried it myself but as long as your dough is the right consistency it seems this would be a good tool for the job.

Use the dough hook for cookie dough. It works just fine. You might have to mix for a bit longer. I'm 73 and love the fact the mixer is light weight, stores on top of a cabinet and the bowl is light enough to allow me to pour and push things out with my limited strength. Pat H. Green Bay
