Whats the maximum weight of dough this machine can handle? Can it handle anything over 6 lbs?

This machine can handle up to 5 pounds of dough. If you are wanting to do more, then you would want to use the Bosch Universal Plus Mixer.

Well, I'm not really a baker, but I would not think so as it spins to fast. It would probably demolish the dough.

8 pounds of flour. It might go more but we didn't try. It seemed that can't handle more but 8 works fine.

don't know what you mean by hard dough, but i make a lot of different breads and have had no trouble. short of a commercial mixer i don't believe you can find one with more power that this one has

Found the mixer to work great w/cookie dough but it may struggle some w/heavy bread dough. Love the product. JP Jr.

I haven't used it for dough yet, however I think it is powerful enough for that purpose. I do not have dough hooks with mine.

The Bosch is capable of handling it, with a 800 horsepower motor and die cast metal dough hooks it will work just fine. I've mixed batches that used 9 cups of flours and not had a single blip.

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.

Don't know if you have received any feedback re: bread making, but I've got the same question(s). Is the 9 cup model powerful enough and large enough to initially mix up a dough ball? I'm replacing a smaller food processor primarily for that purpose and don't want to find this is the wrong machine after I buy it.

This machine is made for chopping and shredding veggies and making hamburger, chicken salad and such . I believe bread dough would be too heavy a task and most probably would burn out t he processor. I would advise against it.

It depends how tough the dough is. This is not a very powerful mixer and I think a heavy dough could possibly burn up the motor. It works well for whipping eggs and cream.

I don't think there is any food prossesors like this will make dough, they are not really made for that purposebut i have used this one for everything else,shread zuccs,slce potatoes etc. the 10 cup volume is greatcan do enugh food in one operation,dough should be done with a much more powerfull machine.

This machine is all metal. As long as your dough is made properly and not too wet, it's easy to clean. Agree with the previous answers on the thinnest setting. Nothing to add.

I would try using extra virgin olive oil. I use my machine mostly for making dough so I can make a 2 pound batch and use it for various food, like pizza, rolls, garlic bread, etc. Perhaps you could try the olive oil to just make the dough then bake it in your oven for better control?

My best guess would be less than 10 pounds. I use it to hold 2 loaves of bread.

Hello, I'd say maybe 5-6 oz. max. Suppose depends upon the recipe and how it expands. Make sure you leave plenty of room for batter to raise. I believe I did 1/2 C. give or take an extra dollop of batter. A good sturdy pan.

I can't answer that specifically. But, what I can tll you is that it makes any rolling using a pin a breeze. Dough doesn't stick once floured and dough comes easily off mat...hope this helps
