My wife has had this for awhile. It does everything with ease. It is a powerhouse. It is the best mixer you can buy.

I make bread in my mixer using 2,000 grams of flour and have no problems mixing at all. That makes 4 loaves of bread. I have mixed for 2-7 minutes and all works fine.

I do not use a bread machine. It has worked great for me with a no knead bread

I have had my mixer a year. I do bread for Farmers Markets. I have done recipes that do mostly 2 loaves at a time....occasionally 3 and it does great. Recipes with rye, whole wheat and oatmeal are among those I do. I love the ease of cleaning, lightweight bowl and smaller footprint...so far so good!! It gets used at least 3 days a week!

Yes, I make no-knead and sourdough breads in this pot. 3-4 cup flour recipes work very well. Line the pot with greased parchment paper to make it easier to remove your loaf. 450 F X 25 minutes with the lid, then 8-10 minutes uncovered.

I usually mix about 4 cups of flour in my bread recipe and it works fine. Last time I doubled my recipe and it mixed up OK, but there was straining so I think it was too much.

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

I only use active dry yeast and have o experience with SAF yeast. I do no use a bread machine when I bake.

I use it all the time for breadmaking. One loaf at a time, that is three cups of flour and I use the metal chopper, adding water and butter slowly while it is going until I have the right amount of water. I let it run about a minute to knead it. I do eight loaves per batch. I have two machines. one at the cottage. Cleaning is a pain; use a toothbrush. I used to use two mixers but they just aren,t able to take the abuse

Yes you can. The machine will knead the ingredients/dough. Just follow the recipe to add ingredients in order and the instructions via the machine itself. Hope that helps.

Hello, I have a Bosch mixer because we eat home made bread.. I follow Chef Brad's recipe for whole wheat bread that makes 5 loaves of bread. I have 5 loaves done and baked in 1 hour and 10 minutes.To 16 cups of flour or so, is added 2 tablespoons of dough enhancer. I expect the 4#'s of dough conditioner I ordered from Honeyville will last a good while. I also buy yeast in bulk. I store both of these items in the freezer. I have a Wonder Mill that grinds my white wheat into flour. The Bosch and the Wonder Mill costs but it has paid for itself. We buy the white wheat in bulk. It will store for years but the flour needs to be used on a regular basis. Hello, I have a Bosch mixer because we eat home made bread..

In looking at the instruction book...you apparently can mix bread but need the optioinal DOUGH HOOKS "with this the Hand Mixer can also knead yeast bread doughs". I don't have this part.

I have used it in the 5 minute a day recipe...worked great, keeps the bread fresh longer. Hope that helps. Good luck

This mixer does come with a dough hook and I have made bread several times. It does a great job with making dough. I truly love this mixer. I make everything in it, including buttercream for cake decorating, buttercream fondant turns out wonderfully. It works well for everything I have every used it for. My only complaint is that I have the 4 1/2 quart bowl and wish I had the 5 qt -- mine is just not quite big enough. But it works so well even after 26 years of constant use, I can't see getting rid of it for that reason

Exactly the same interest/question. How good is the 9 cup or 7 cup model at making bread dough?

Well, I don't use a bread machine, but I don't think you'll have anything but good results from this yeast. It's even great for over-rising like when you make foccacia bread and need really big gaping bubbles. The key, as in all bread making, is how much you choose to knead. That will determine how long the gluten strands are and how chewey or finely textured the bread is.

It depends on the size of Bosch you own, how much bread you are making and the recipe. This link may be useful: http://kodiakhealth.com/catalog/index.php/module/statics/action/view_listing/page/61

Recipe for bread machine call for active dry yeast, and there isn't time in the cycle for that yeast to work completely. This yeast is a rapid-rise yeast (same as active dry, but smaller particles so it activates more quickly) so you need to use less yeast. Normally, you'd use one packet of active dry yeast? That's 2 1/4 teaspoons, but you'd use 1 1/2 teaspoons of this.Have you ever tried to clean a bread machine that overflowed and baked? It's no fun trying to clean up the "no-immertsion" parts, no fun at all. (The ultimate bread machine is a good stand mixer. I got a KitenAid, and it's wonderful, but I suspect there are ones that are even better.)
