Does this unit also have a dough hook? Can I mix bread dough in it?

The BSB530XL All In One does not come with a dough blade. It is not recommended that the All In One be used to make dough.

No, it has a cord but it doesn't seem to get in my way. I have the luxury of being ambidextrous so I just move the cord from right to left and it stays out of the way as I am mixing. It is light weight so that my arthritis isn't bothered, yet it is powerful / heavy enough for my needs so far. That being said, I haven't tried to mix bread dough, even tough it has bread hooks. I would probably get out my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for bread. I hope this helps! I love it so far!!!!!

I haven't used the dough hooks yet, but it's the best built hand mixer I've ever used - by far. Well worth the extra money.

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.

No it doesn't. It slices the dough rather than knead it. For bread dough you need a dough hook.

The dough never really touches the unit so cleaning it has not been an issue so far. I have no trouble getting 2 loaf pans in it. I also have a large glass bowl I use for the initial rise and that fits in it as well. I love it! Our humidity levels in Montana can be lower than Phoenix, AZ at times and this has REALLY made the difference in my bread - no matter what. I highly recommend this unit.

I do have the Dough Hooks pictured here and they do fit my hand mixer. I don't know your model but if the end on your regular hooks match the attaching ends of the shown Dough Hooks, they will fit. You know, one snaps in while the other simply connects. The bottom of your Mixer shows which end connections to place into the holes. Let me add, they work great! I have no problem mixing my bread dough with these hooks. I hope this helps.

I've kneaded bread dough with my mixer twice and it has worked perfectly. I wonder if you might not have the dough hook inserted properly. The dough needs to be the right consistency, of course, so it's important to add flour to make it so. I had stopped making bread because I have arthritis and the kneading would cause such pain. I LOVE the dough hook on this machine and am so happy to be able to make bread again!!!

When I purchased mine, earlier this year, it did come with the dough hooks. Ken Wolff

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.

No sue I don't think so if you pick a bread cycle it runs that cycle in both pans. Now I guess if you had a recipe that cooked while in the bread cycle it would work, but I don't know of any. I used it to mix two different types of bread dough I wanted to braid. I ended up returning the pan because within 30 days the bread machine pooped out. Hope this helps

Yes. The basket is non stick so soapy water and a sponge works fine. I use a q-tip to remove any dough stuck in the little mixer paddle. Of course the outside of the unit can be wiped down with the same care as with any electrical appliance.

No. The stirring whisk is used to make almost everything, including cookies. However, if you're making heavy dough, like oatmeal cookies, you'll want to use the bread hook. I've made numerous batches of cookies and this machine works wonders!

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.

Yes. Good non stick. The little mixer paddle sometimes needs a pipe cleaner to get inside it where dough gets stuck. But its easy!

it works GREAT for making pie crust, pizza dough,biscuts,pasta dough, but i would not suggest using it for bread dough.i would use a kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook, or a bread maker.
