How does it do with bread dough?

I would assume not well. Mine actually burnt out doing a mixture for brownies. I was mixing fine then it just stopped with that bad smell coming out from the case. I tried everything to get it moving again but it was dead. We did not get much time out of it, less than a year. It may have been a fluke but it was quite disappointing

Well, I am gluten free, so only do those types of flours. It does those well. I believe it would be the same with gluten type flours. I really love this machine. But, you need to take a spatula occasionally and scrape the bottom of the bowl where the mixers do not go down far enough.

I didn't make bread with it, but made coffee cake with yeast and using the dough hooks, it did fine.

I was so disappointed over sunbeams new model, I used it 3 times and sent it back. I was only making cookies.

Not strong enough for bread. Just light mixing. Kitchen Aid Pro is better for bread making.

No, this mixer burned up within a couple of years; we used it maybe once a month for pizza dough. I would not recommend this mixer at all, it looks good, but it is not heavy duty enough for a serious kitchen.

Yes it kneads dough. You have to use warm ingredients otherwise the yeast doesn't rise. Check a yeast recipe for the recommended temp.Don't use more than 4 cups of flour. I tried 5 cups but it stalled the machine. The unit does not come with a dough blade. You use the sharp s blade.

Put a little pan spray in it and the bread browns nicely and pops right out when done. It's a good pan and makes a good loaf of bread.

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

My wife has used it to easily make salsa, soup, green smoothies, and nut butter. She hasn't tried to make dough with it yet.

I don't even have a bread machine and mix the whole recipe by hand. It turns out just fine. I do, however, mix the yeast in the warm water and add a teaspoon of sugar (yeast grows better in sugar water). The bread made with this mix is our favorite and has always turned out just great. For a bread machine, use the whole bag and follow the recipe. I do cover the top with foil in the last 20 minutes or so. Note: I always mix the wet ingredients together first, add half the bread mix, stir together, then add the rest of the mix and stir it together.

I don't use a bread machine. It is a lot easier with a stand mixer and about twice as fast as a bread machine. Use a little more water and beat for about 4 minutes on about number 6 or 7 on the mixer. It makes perfect bread. Also. I slice it and wrap six or seven slices in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze it. It lasts forever and I just take out what we need for a few days.

The package has all the flour and yeast that you need. Just follow the instructions for "Bread Machine" on the back of the package, basically adding the wet ingredients. The mixed "dough" will look more like quick bread than regular bread dough, but don't add any flour. I have had friends who did this with bad results.

I haven't tried breading with it, but if you let the mixture set for a few minutes it gets pretty gooey, so I would think that you could.

I have made pizza dough and it came out just fine. Have not tried cookie dough yet. I think it is a good machine for the money. I had my oster for 16 years before it died.

Yes! I am not sure I would try it on bread dough...but it does not come with dough hooks anyway.

I have never thought to used it for baking bread.. where do you find recipes?

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!!!!

To be honest, I haven't attempted kneading dough. I use it mainly to prep vegetables,grate/shred cheese, and mixing liquids.

I do not make bread loaves from it. I make pizza crust. By adding Italian seasonings it makes great pizza crusts
