Does anyone know how to soften this play dough after it got a little hard after a few weeks of use?

I just simply added water, and I have done this several times. It works. I don't think you should add oil of any kind. I did that once... it was a mess... I had to throw the dough away after adding the oil.

I haven't thought about it as we have not worked with the play dough yet. It sounds like a good idea to put it in containers. I only have my granddaughters a couple of days a week, so we are still making the other projects. We have not had the time to work with the play dough.

Can't imagine what might be the problem. If the mixing tool is spinning and rotating there should be a good kneading process in the bowl. Our recipe just made a small amount of dough but the kneading hook did a fine job even with a small amount of dough. Don't know. Dennis & Marilyn

Thanks for your quick response. I was reading up on dark baking pans and they said that besides lowering the temperature, which I did but the crust was still thick and dark but not as hard as when I baked it with 350 degree, you should line the pan with parchment paper to get better results. I used one sheet of lining at the bottom of the tin. The next time I use this pan, I will use two sheets of parchment paper and line the entire pan. I will let everyone know how it worked.

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 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 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.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

kat has the recipe on the box, but it's not particularly useful. The dough is very stiff. I've had much better luck cutting the flour to 2 cups and using 2 eggs and 1 cup of water. 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp nutmeg if you wish. With the 2/2/1 mix, the dough falls easily through the holes in the machine.

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�...

We do not pre-heat ours, and always use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free pizza mix. We do put down a thin layer of GF flour before rolling/pressing out the dough on the stone. After rolling out, my wife says she lifts up the edges all around and tosses a few more pinches of flour under to help. Only little tiny areas ever stick using this method. It might help being GF flour as well, since it isn't as "sticky."

Are you using setting 9, the Dough setting? If so, are you putting the liquid ingredients in first?

I would try using extra virgin olive oil. I use my machine mostly for making dough so I can make a 2 pound batch and use it for various food, like pizza, rolls, garlic bread, etc. Perhaps you could try the olive oil to just make the dough then bake it in your oven for better control?

Yes maybe even easier than regular play dough. It doesn't crumble, stain or stick to surfaces. We have had this dough for 6 months now and it's holding up great.
