I learned that this cannot make dough. Can I buy a separate attachment for a dough hook for this?

There is no bread dough kneading attachment available according to the Hamilton Beach web site. They do have an 800 help line 800-&51-8900.

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.

Gina for bread dough I would think it could work but if the dough is too sticky it might be a major pain in the kaboos and better left to a rolling pin unless you can use two wax papers and do a quick press. If you think it can possibly help you with time I say test it out if it doesn't meet expectations return it .

If you dont plug it in it would work, but if u plug it in it might cook the dough partially as it flattens. There are cheaper dough presses if u dont need the heat.

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

I do not know how is that you are doing it. It had worked perfectly for me although these products are not made for "heavy" dough. You have to open the bottom part (where the cookie discs are) and put there the disc that you want to use and close it back again.

Yes, there is an attachment to make mini pie crust toppers. I haven't made any with this so not sure how well it works. I made shortcakes and.... It was messy, good but messy.

Salsa, soup, and green drinks should not be a problem. Nut butter would be a challenge without adding a lot of oil to smooth out the mixture and working in small batches. A food processor would probably be a better choice. I have not tried to make dough, but it doesn't seem realistic. The blades would not be an appropriate tool. A stand mixer with a dough attachment would be a better choice.

My maker does not have a dough cycle. People here say it does? Maybe I should figure that out. The closest I can come is the "pizza" cycle.

I don't see why not. As long as you follow the instructions which are very very easy and clean after each use. Do not use salt in the dough......salt the water when cooking. Even if the motor broke which I'm sure it will in time it was very easy to use the hand mechanism or manual turner like they do on all the chef competition shows on tv.

Yes, and it is made for kneading dough and really does a nice job in the appropriate speed and mixer. Start slow. I have the Cuisinart Hand mixer 3 speeds (CHM-3), and it came only with whiskers (beaters), so I click these kneading hooks in and works perfectly! And do not try to adapt any whisker (beaters) to knead any dough (light or heavy whatsoever), because they will pull up the dough to the posts holes and clog it/

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.

It does NOT fit on the dough hook. It will snap onto the driver that holds the cookie paddles or wire whisks. I've found I don't really need a scraper when I'm making bread dough. Scraper does work well!

I just simply added water, and I have done this several times. It works. I don't think you should add oil of any kind. I did that once... it was a mess... I had to throw the dough away after adding the oil.

I have not used this for dough. I don't believe it would do a good job of bread dough or cookie dough. It is probably too small for dough also.

It does not have dough hooks. I would imagine it has them offered as an accessory on the web. I have seen them in second hand stores but I don't have the need for them. Mixer does great, still using it.

Tammi,this is a small pin. I am not sure how good you are with a standard size rolling pin.. BUt if you can work a standard size one.. you can certainly work a mini version.. just with smaller amount of dough at a time... Good Luck . so I say YES.. with smaller amounts of cookie dough.. No Problem.

I've kneaded bread dough with my mixer twice and it has worked perfectly. I wonder if you might not have the dough hook inserted properly. The dough needs to be the right consistency, of course, so it's important to add flour to make it so. I had stopped making bread because I have arthritis and the kneading would cause such pain. I LOVE the dough hook on this machine and am so happy to be able to make bread again!!!
