Bread Making Tips - KitchenAid KSM7581 Instructions Manual

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 “0” (Off), and
then turn back on to a lower speed.
*For models with Pouring Shield.

Bread Making Tips

• 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, free from draft, unless
otherwise specified in recipe.
