does this work for baking bread?

It will work great for bread. Simply insert the probe to the center of your loaf and set the high alarm to your target temperature.

Yes, absolutely. Probably better for this purpose than for baking. And, my children used it to make stepping stones for my garden. Multi-purpose and you cannot beat the price!!

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

In my experience, yes. I have never used it for a yeast bread, but it's great for quick breads, muffins, cakes, etc. I reduce the amount of flour called for by a couple of tablespoons per cup in most recipes to yield a more delicate result.

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

Yes. in fact it works very well. I bought one last March and have been using it ever since. It is one of my favorites. You can read my detailed review at http://www.breadcenter.com-Dan

No reason it shouldn't. Haven't used it on bread, however. It will measure the temperature at the tip.

Yes, it does. I will also add that you should never wash this with soap and water or immerse it in water. Just wipe it out with a damp dishcloth and let dry. I won't bake bread with anything else.

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.

I have used it for breads, muffins and cookies. In those instances, the direct substitution worked fine. I'm not sure how it would work for pie crusts or pastries.

Sorry, but this time I have to say an outright "no". It's too rough (like burlap) and although it might work, I wouldn't try. I bake pies as well and I much prefer using a smooth surfaced material for the tender pie crusts rather than this rough surface. Sometimes you can multitask a product but not this one for pie crusts. Cookie dough? Pretty much the same thing. This couche is fairly rigid as well as rough so again I wouldn't think of using it for anything else than forming bread loaves. Good luck!

I had never done so-I would think that it would work fine though. I make recipes that are not in the book that comes with the bread maker and they come out beautifully.

Should work fine. I have cooked lots of yeast bread and it neither rusts nor sticks.

Only corn bread, biscuits, not "real" bread. It does work great on what I have done...just be sure your cabinet is level as mine is not and I have to watch the back part of what I am baking. Good luck.

Yes very much so. I use it to make sweet bread on. I roll the dough and other things on it.
