can this model knead dough for rye bread?

Yes.... BUT remember, rye flour has no gluten, so you will be adding other flours and perhaps more gluten. So, it will require at least 7 minutes of continuous kneading to make the gluten activate. It can be hard on these machines. It can be done, but don't use more than two loaves worth of flour/ingredients. I'm a prime example of killing KitchenAids from making bread. These machines just aren't made to handle more than two loaves worth. Unless you like replacing mixers every two years.

Yes, there is a dough cycle that mixes, kneads and rises but does not bake. I use it all the time for pizza and sticky bun recipes.

Rye in all its variations is the ONLY type of bread I make with this machine: Jewish - with or without pickle juice, seeded and unseeded, stone ground, fine milled, light or dark rye flour, multi-grain and a myriad of other combinations with added ingredients such as olives, bacon, various cheeses, etc. All of it turns out great, the crust can be set from soft to crunchy, the inside from firm to fluffy. The advantage of this machine is the fact that I am not restricted to preprogrammed scenarios but am able to choose my own cycles, their sequence and duration. The end result is a great individual, custom composed loaf of bread - up to two and a half pounds.

This model did not come with a recipe for sourdough, but I think.it would make it. You would just have to google a sourdough recipe for bread machines, then look at the cycles to see which program to put it under.

Sorry I have not made rye bread yet - I bake only LOW CARB BREAD It's hard to find Low carb bread recipesbut just yesterday I got a new book "Bread and Breakfast" By Diana Lee from Amazon and It's ALL Low carb RecipesOne of the best features of this bread machine is the optional dual pan that allows you to bake 2 one pound loaves of DIFFERENT KIND at a time.J.H.

No reason why not. Just as with any bread machine you would not be able to delay the start of the bread because the wet ingredients would react with the yeast. This machine may be better equipped to do non-standard recipies because all the stages are configurable.

If you only want to use the rye flour, the bread will be very small, squished and heavy. This is what I do using my bread machine: I use 1.5 cups of rye flour, 1.5 wheat flour (of the same Organic Milling Company) and 1 cup all-purpose generic grocery store flour (I like Trader Joe's all purpose unbleached flour, but it doesn't have to be TJ'S). The all purpose flour is not as healthy, but it holds the bread together. If you skip it and use just 50 50 mix of rye and wheat flour, the bread may easily crumble. I also add 2 tsps of salt, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 Tbsp of oil and 2.75 tsps of Red Dry Yeast. The bread rises nicely and it's much puffier than bread made only from rye flour.

Sorry, I have never used a bread machine. If you use other regular flours instead of premade mixes when you use your machine, I would think this Rye Flour would work just fine for you. Hope this helps :)

It did at one time, but when I ordered it about 6 months ago, it did not come with a blade to knead the dough. However you should be able to get it from the manufacturer.

Depends on how the bread is sliced. The rye bread we have fits nicely. The slot is 6 inches in length. Hope this is helpful to you.

As far as I know, the machine will handle just about anything you can throw at it. I make bread all the time. If the dough is very wet, you would probably use the paddle rather than the dough hook, but I would start with the dough hook to see.

I have used my mixer several times , but I am not using it for heavy duty baking . It doesn't knead dough or use an attachment for kneading . Depends on how much you will be using it and what for . PS I want a Kitchenaid , but can't afford it . I hope this helps.

Have not tried Rye bread yet. I do toast the larger whole grain breads with no problems.

Hi Karen. If the bread dough is light, not heavy or stiff, it will do well. If it is chewy and hard you wont be able to mix it or knead it. Regards

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

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.

The dough has to be kept moist. I used the recipe in the book till I got the "feel" of it then kept a damp towel around it to keep it moist. It took a couple of tries but finally got it. Too much kneading will make it hard too. Good luck, it's an awesome attachment.
