Can this make dough for a loaf of bread?

I use mine all the time for bread. My recipe actually calls for about the same amount of ingredients you use but have found that, because this does such a good job in 3 minutes of processing, I have cut back to about 2 1/2 cups of dry ingredients and I get an even nicer, lighter bread. Let me also suggest that,even though the friction of the processing DOES warm the dough substantially, I've learned that starting with 95 degree (F) water helps the dough rise faster and better. I find that no less than 2 min nor more than 3 min of "run" time is perfect for WONDERFUL bread.

I've not used it for bread dough, if that's what you have in mind, I have only used it for batters & whipping creams & cookie dough, but it is a very powerful little mixer & so may be good for that too

You can knead bread on this certainly or make pizza on it. But if you are making pizza on it and kneading pizza dough on it it will be getting covered with flour and bits of dough will stick to it and you do not want that. It needs to be clean and smooth and oiled.

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 am pretty sure it can flatten bread dough. I usually make my tortilla 50/50 corn and wheat flour. Fried bread dough with cheese sounds delicious.

You can make any kind of flat type breads with the machine. The time to cook depends on how you like it, there is a booklet that comes with it that has times and some recipes. I put the dough in, close/press the lid, and hold for 3-5 seconds to prevent dough from retracting. Hope this helps and you enjoy it as much as I have so far.

Yes, but it is not hot enough to bake any bread, even so thin! Just don't waste money on this. I returned it after the first try!

I don't find any mention of pasta dough. Here is quote on DOUGH from the manual: Use to prepare dough for making bread, rolls or pizza which are shaped and allowed to rise before baking in a conventional oven. This setting blends and kneads the dough and takes it through the first rise. And, yes, it does a fine job of making bread.

I haven't tried it for dough, but I would imagine so. The cookies (?) would be pretty big.

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.

NO. not successfully. Yeast is necessary for good bread making. This machine does a good job as is required. Alvin.

Gina for bread dough I would think it could work but if the dough is too sticky it might be a major pain in the kaboos and better left to a rolling pin unless you can use two wax papers and do a quick press. If you think it can possibly help you with time I say test it out if it doesn't meet expectations return it .

Yes! We use it weekly for pizza dough. Just use the recipe in the book or write to me and I will give you the one we use. I also make Honey Oat bread on the dough cycle (number 7 on my breadmaker) and bake it in my regular oven for a different shape loaf.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.

Sorry, but I have only used it for pizza so far. Other reviews have mentioned making bread with it.

Someone posted this on Walmart's Q&A about this DDO... A: Yes, this can be used to bake bread. There are many different recipes available, with many, many variations. Here is a basic home baked bread recipe: 1 1/4 cup warm water 1 package active dry yeast 2 tbsp soft shortening 2 tsp salt 2 tbsp sugar 3 cups sifted flower Pour warm water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water, stir until dissolved. Add shortening, salt, sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. Stir in remaining flour and beat with a spoon until smooth, 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape batter from the sides of the bowl. Cover dough with clean cloth and let rise in a warm place, free from draft until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. When batter has risen, stir down by beating about 25 strokes. Spread batter in a greased Dutch oven. Batter will be sticky. Let rise in warm place until batter reaches 1/4" from top of pot, about 40 min. Bake in oven at 375F for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. When done, brush top with butter while still hot. Posted By Lodge Product Expert

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?)
