Can I mix bread dough with this mixer?

The BHM500XL Handy Mix Digital can do dough for pastries, bread, scones, etc. It comes with two specially designed dough hooks and there are recipes for several items including a standard loaf pan sized bread recipe in the instruction book.

You can use your own recipes. My favorite is; 3 C bread flour, 1 7/8 C rolled oats, 2 tsp salt, 2 TBS olive oil, 2 TBS honey, 1 3/8 C water, 1pk yeast. This machine has a yeast dispenser and does not start mixing for 1/2 to 1 hr after turning on. This made nervous at first, but the bread is GREAT!

I think it's for bread machines only, you might try to mix it for a regular oven, should turn out OK.

I've not used it for bread dough, if that's what you have in mind, I have only used it for batters & whipping creams & cookie dough, but it is a very powerful little mixer & so may be good for that too

Actually, I used a regular hand mixer and baked it in a regular loaf pan. I didn't use a stand mixer, nor the bread machine. I might try the bread machine the next time, but my way was easier. Turned out great! Did that answer your question?

It will work with bread dough. It is much easier to flatten the dough with plastic on both side .I used this to make the Pot Sticker wrapper(flour + Water)=====> (Thin and round wrapper)

I haven't tried that yet, but I think it should work great along with the authentic foods dough enhancer. Hope this helps.

I ordered it because I wanted to mix my bread dough but honestly i would not recommend it for that. It's good for regular cake dough but when the dough is heavy like for the bread one, the dough instead of mixing is sticking...

no, there is no bread hook. I would suggest getting a dough hook for your mixer, or using the dough cycle on a bread machine (which is what I prefer)

Yes. You can use any type of mixer. I make strawberry and pineapple slushies all the time

The mixer will work for lower volume dough but not as well because it is designed for large batches. I used it to make pizza dough, only using a total of 4 c. My experience is it just takes a bit more time to get the dough thoroughly mixed before it really starts kneading it. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't know. Sorry. I know that when I use the beater that comes with it, I have to hold the bowl in place while it beats. It doesn't fit my professional mixer as it comes off the hooks when I use it. I am thinking that bread dough would be tough for holding the bowl into place, but I am just guessing.

Yes. The only difference with those types of breads is that they require a yeast sponge to start with. The mixer is large so you could easily fit the two or so cups of sponge and the other ingredients for the bread in the mixer. The only difficulty I find with this mixer is when using it for a batter or frosting that is very small. I usually pull out the hand mixer for that.

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

As long as you follow our general mixing instructions and the recipe you have, this mixer will have no trouble mixing gluten free bread dough.

I wouldn't recommend it for heavy doughs. I would use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer for that.
