BREAD-MAKING TIPS

Making bread with a mixer is quite different
from making bread by hand. Therefore,
it will take some practice before you are
completely comfortable with the new
process. For your convenience, we offer
these tips to help you become accustomed
to bread-making the KitchenAid
brand way.
• Always use the PowerKnead™ spiral
dough hook to mix and knead yeast
doughs.
• Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast
dough. Use of any other speed with
heavy doughs may cause mixer to stop
rotating to limit mixer damage. This is
normal operation.
If this occurs, turn the speed selector
to OFF, and then turn back on to a
lower speed.
• Use a candy or other kitchen
thermometer to assure that liquids
are at temperature specified in the
recipe. Liquids at higher temperature
can kill yeast, while liquids at lower
temperatures will retard yeast growth.

• Warm all ingredients to room
temperature to ensure proper rising
of dough. If yeast is to be dissolved
in bowl, always warm bowl first by
rinsing with warm water to avoid
cooling of liquids.
• Allow bread to rise in a warm place,
80°F to 85°F (27 °C to 29 °C), free from
draft, unless otherwise specified in recipe.
