Would this mixer work for mixing dough for French bread

I've never done bread dough but I can mix a double batch of chocolate chip cookies with no problem. Not sure if this is a good comparison.

I would have to say, No. I wouldn't recommend this mixer for bread dough or anything else for that matter. It just stopped working on me and I found a lot of other people who had the same experience. I went and bought a Kenmore hand mixer from Sears for much less $$ and it is still working great.

No, beyond what it is made to do. That would be something for the table top mixer. (It might get it done if it were a small quantity, but it would not be what it is made to do.)

In looking at the instruction book...you apparently can mix bread but need the optioinal DOUGH HOOKS "with this the Hand Mixer can also knead yeast bread doughs". I don't have this part.

Although it is a great mixer, I don't think it is heavy duty enough to use on bread dough.

I have not used it for this purpose, however, my old mixer had the same kind of beaters and worked just fine on egg whites or cream. My one complaint about the mixer is that it did not arrive with a small bowl. I'm sure meringue and whipped cream would turn out better in a smaller bowl. If I order one from Sunbeam, I'm going to specify that it has the attachment on the bottom so that it will turn at the correct speed.

Maybe... I've used a similar food processor to mix bread dough, but if you plan to do that often, I would recommend something more like a Kitchen Aid mixer.

I finally did use this mixer to knead the dough and it worked very well. I used it for a two loaf recipe and was very pleased with it. I have not tried it yet for more then this but I know it would work well with the dry ingredients and may be fine with adding the liquids but might be too much for bigger then the normal two loaf recipes. For a hand mixer, this one is powerful and easy to handle and it is also easy to change the speed settings while in use.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.

it works GREAT for making pie crust, pizza dough,biscuts,pasta dough, but i would not suggest using it for bread dough. i would use a kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook, or a bread maker.

Yes, you can use this on which to roll out your dough for pastries. This was a trick I never knew I could do but picked up from another cooking website. Works well!

This mixer is not designed for kneading dough, however, it can be used for easy mixing of dough, eggs, cream, mayonnaise and formixing or stirring sauces and pudding powders.

I combined it with molasses and it worked well. I also used a bowl mixer due to the volume I used. It is too thick for a beater mixer.

I imagine so - I use mine for cake batter all the time. Bread dough is too thick for this model, though.

It is a food processor not a mixer. It probably could make pie dough although the cup capacity would limit the amount of dough that could be made.

I don't see why not. Haven't tried it myself but as long as your dough is the right consistency it seems this would be a good tool for the job.

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)

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, this mixer burned up within a couple of years; we used it maybe once a month for pizza dough. I would not recommend this mixer at all, it looks good, but it is not heavy duty enough for a serious kitchen.

I don't know if this food processor will mix cookie dough. I have not tried it. Sorry I cannot help!

M.Wallace, there are a number of beater's that are for this mixer - i.e. General mixing, whisk type, one for bread, etc. and probably more are available. I'd check with KitchenAid.com to view all that's available. This is a great mixer!
