BREADS
Special Instructions for Making
Kneaded Breads
When making kneaded breads,
your mixer will require more care
than when making ordinary mixtures,
such as cake batter and cookie dough.
The elasticity of the bread dough
and the shape of the dough hooks
may cause your mixer to do some
unusual things.
The bowl may tend to rock back and
forth. We suggest that you guide the
bowl with one hand to help control
the rocking action. AVOID GETTING
YOUR HANDS TOO NEAR THE
DOUGH HOOKS!
The kneading action may cause the
mixer to slide on a slippery work
surface. Be sure the work surface
and rubber feet on the bottom
of the mixer are clean and dry.
CAUTION: Do not use the mixer too near
the edge of a table or counter top,
where it could fall off.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR MIXER
UNATTENDED WHEN USING THE
DOUGH HOOKS.
Bread Making Instructions
for Dough Hooks
Ingredients should be added to the
mixing bowl as they are specified
in the recipe.
Combine a small portion of the dry
ingredients with the wet ingredients.
Mix on Speed 6. Continue adding dry
ingredients until the mixture becomes
sticky, then turn to Speed 1. Gradually
add remaining dry ingredients.
If there is high humidity in the air,
it may be necessary to add additional
flour to the recipe. The high humidity
could also extend the amount of time
necessary for baking.
Guide the mixing bowl with your hands.
Use caution to keep hands out of the
way of the dough hooks.
Do not attempt to scrape the bowl
while the mixer is operating. Stop the
mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl
as necessary. Use a rubber or
plastic spatula only.
DO NOT attempt to feed dough into
the dough hooks with your hands,
a spatula, or any other utensil while
the mixer is plugged into an outlet
or in operation.
If times are specified in the recipe, use
them! BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERMIX.
Overmixing can cause a mixture to
become tough. We suggest that
your total mixing time should be
6 – 8 minutes.
Should an object, such as a spatula,
fall into the bowl while the mixer
is operating, turn the mixer off
immediately. Then remove the object.
Remove dough hooks and place in
sink for easy clean-up.
