What size would I get to make artisan bread? 3 -4 cups of flour

absolutely get the large size, I got the medium with the indented top handle, and am verry sorry. It fits very small amounts of meat. The handle on top reduces the interior amount of food. Wish I had gotten the larger one, and will at some point.

I have the 5 quart and have made several loaves of bread in it. The recipe I have calls for 3 cups of flour. Perfect size oven for that size recipe. Haven't had one single loaf of bread stick to the pot. If you might want a larger pot for other cooking, you might prefer the 7 quart, otherwise, as others have said, 5 quart should do. It's a heavy pot, so a 7 might be more awkward to remove from oven.

first of all please stop measuring with cups it is a odd and unsafe measure. I use professionally 4-6% gluten, depending on what flour I have. If I have a very heavy, very bran laden flour i go 6 maybe 7% if i have a lighter whiter flour I go closer to 4% As someone else mentioned, you need enough water in your dough. If you get a bread thats not baked through, lower the temperature and lengthen the baking time. Higher temps will only burn teh bread or make a overly thick crust.The best test if a bread is baked through, take the loaf out and knock the bottom. if it sounds thumb, it is not done. if it sounds hollow, it is done. first of all please stop measuring with cups it is a odd and unsafe measure.

The Bosch is made to hold large quantities of flour. The honey whole wheat bread recipe I make uses 15-16 cups of hard wheat flour. I've made whole wheat bread using anywhere from 9-16 cups of flour at one time. Does the job just fine. IMHO, there is no better mixer on the market today.

Anything over 3mm should work fine, 4mm is ideal for smaller pieces I think

I use 3 cups bread flour with 2 tbls VWG. your results may be * not enough time, not enough yeast for proofing, also not knead enough so it densed in the center,

you probably have 4 or 5 cups. I would personally order from Honeyville grain directly from their website. Their product is amazing and their 5lb bag is fairly priced at $44 if you are a baker or use almond flour for savory recipes.

The recipe booklet included with the bread dome has only 5 recipes and 3 of them are for bread and it states 3-4 cups. The recipe I used called for 4-5 and it was fine - there was still another inch or so of room below the rim.. I would guess that you could use 6 cups.

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.

Sorry I can't be more precise, but I use these 4" pans and 6" pans. The last time I used them I think I got two of each, but bottom crusts only, using a recipe for pate brisee with 2 1/2 cups flour. I use crumb topping instead of a top crust. With the 4" pan a double crust seems like too much crust to fruit ratio. It's OK with the 6" pans which I like better for that reason. If I do make a top crust I usually make a lattice or use cookie cutters and just sort of overlap them. That way there isn't so much crust. Hope this helps.

What kind of flour are you using, and how much? How stiff is the dough? I have a Bosch, and have been using it for almost four years. My typical recipe flour-to-water ratio is 6 cups of water to around 14 cups of flour, 10 of which are King Arthur white whole wheat and four of which are regular white flour. Usually, it only sounds strained when I have added the final few cups of flour, which I only do in the last few minutes. Hope this helps!

I usually use 4 to 4-1/2 cups of flour, but I use a mixture of bread flour and whole grain spelt ... might even be able to use 5 cups of my flour mixture in this baker to get an even higher loaf.

The capacity of the metal bowl holding the dough is 6 cups. My old bread machine held 12 cups, and this is not especially large. If you want a large capacity, buy the bigger machine.

I bake my loaves in a 8 x 4 bread pan. There is definitely plenty of room for a larger loaf. I usually cut with the loaf on it's side. I really like it.

Dear Careful Customer: Just for you, I measured bread flour by the leveled-off cup into the smallest of these canisters (the turquoise colored one). It held exactly 5 cups.

I use my bread-maker to make gluten-free bread so the dimensions will be quite a bit smaller than for normal breads. Sorry that I can't tell you the normal dimensions.

That depends on the diameter of donut that you wish to make.The largest one(2-3/4 inch) is what I would call a typical boxed commercial donut size. Appears to be too small for me.I personally would prefer to make 3-1/2 inch and a 4 inch one.I do believe that a 3/4 inch match for the 2-3/4 inch size that is included in this set. Just my opinion though.If I make jelly or filled donuts, then I prefer at least the same of 3-1/2 inch to 4 inch diameter.
