Can't tolerate hands in dough. Even Stonewall Kitchen scones have to be kneaded. I used latex that fit but too much dough sticks to them. Help?

Well, as it happens, I have frozen dough thawing on my counter today. Slipped on a glove and poked a few rolls and the gloves do not stick. (These gloves were a "one size fits all" when I purchased them and would fit a man's hand comfortably). However, given the low cost per glove, it has been worth it to me to have a "less than perfect" fit to the gloves. Hope that helps. Mary

Well these are the ones that you see used by the cafeteria workers.They are very smooth and clear but loose on the hands.

I use these gloves to open meat and poultry packages and to handle the product. I have never used them for dough. Useful hint: moisten your hands before putting them on and they will not move around on your fingers.

First, be sure to start with basic recipes before becoming adventurous:) Then the order of ingredients and exact amounts are extremely important, no matter which bread machine you use. After all that, if you are still having trouble and you have a cave in then there is probably too much moisture. Try reducing the water by 1/8 cup. Also, leaving the loaf in the pan after it is done can result in silly shapes. Heavier flour can also cause craters.

I make 3 loaves. Find a recipe though that uses only flour, water, salt and yeast. The dough "proofs", it doesn't rise. The yeast isn't mixed with water. Spritz the bread before you put it in the oven and it comes out perfect crusty on the outside and soft inside. I love this pan!!!!

oven use should be fine. other suggestions for using a paddle to slide dough onto stone is probably best way to go about it, but since i don't have one, i just carefully lay the dough (that i've already shaped into a rectangle) on the pre-heated stone (corn meal down first) and then put on the sauce, toppings, cheese, etc.

I have had no problems like this. Perhaps your dough is too dry and therefore, stiff. Or the pan is not in properly.

I have only used mine a few times and I had these same issues the first time I used it. With subsequent I made sure the counter was very wet (not just a few sprinkles) and I used quite a bit of flour. I live in a very dry, mountain climate and have to add extra water to my dough so it won't crack around the edges. I think it just takes practice to find the right amounts. Hope this helped some.

i haven't had the problem..And I hope I don't!..perhaps try to soak in warm or hot water to loosen possibly stuck flour or dough..let me know what works! HAPPY BAKING!! And I agree with other suggestion of spraying "PAM"on blades prior to baking

For plain cookies I just roll the dough into 1-inch or so balls and flatten it with the bottom of a glass dipped in flour or sugar to keep it from sticking to the dough. No press needed.

I had the same initial problem. Try your recipe with 1/8-1/4 cup less flour. Worked for me.

1- BE certain you do follow the recipe instructions for the dough consistency as too wet will be a problem. 2- get a good hair brush, flat type inch wide or so as a cleaner as you roll the press SLOWLY sweeping the bristles too and fro dislodging any trapped pieces, 3- put a few pieces of wax paper through the attachments you may have clogged with wet dough until it comes clean. 4- GENTLY TAP the machine on a wooden surface to further dislodge any other pieces, and in the future PAY ATTENTION TO THE DOUGH CONSISTENCY.

If you cannot tolerate latex gloves, you may want to try vinyl gloves. Otherwise, you cannot completely remove all residue from the hand which applies the capsaicin. If you can't do that, try using a Kleenex or paper towel, folded into a pad about four by four inches and then covered by Saran Wrap. Now open a small hole in the plastic on one side and apply the capsaicin to the Kleenex. (Using Saran Wrap alone is more likely to smear the stuff around, but it acts as a protractors barrier between the fingers and the Kleenex.) Use the applicator only once, then discard. Good luck.

Hi Karen, Perhaps your dough is not soft enough. The recipe calls for room temperature butter which means the butter should be soft. Too much flour can make your dough stiff so it's important to sift the flour and then measure it. After you mix all the ingredients, the cookie dough should be pliable enough so you can take some of the dough and roll it in your hands to achieve a small tube like formation to put in the cookie press. Continue doing that until the press is filled. Usually 2 small tubes will fill it. Make sure the cookie press is assembled tightly. Good luck.

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.

Not me. I would think your biggest problem is going to be in keeping the clay from sticking to the rollers. I use lots of flour to keep my dough moving through freely. If you can keep the clay from sticking, I don't see why you couldn't use it to roll clay. It's pretty sturdy.

You might have to lightly oil or butter the sides of the form. Or use spray Pam. These are very high quality forms and I use for lentil burgers - they don't stick for that.

Jonathan,Thanks for the note about loading your no-knead breads to your pot!! That is a very special application, but one that I also use. Very cool!Gary@EXO/Super Peel

yes, just be sure to oil or use oiled parchment paper on each side, so does not stick. I usually have to spin parchment a second time to get a more even (round) press
