Recipe example: Pancake batter
First pour 375 ml milk into the bowl, then add 250 g flour and finally 2 eggs. Using full speed, mix the batter until smooth.

Kneading dough

(only to be used with MQ 7 + MQ 5 Vario)
Picture section A also applies for the usage of the kneading tool.
The kneading tool (5) is ideal for kneading different dough types like yeast dough or pastry (max. 250 g flour).

• Place the kneading tool into the bowl (2).
• Fill the bowl with max. 250 g flour, then add the other ingredients except liquids.
• Turn on the appliance at full speed.
• Add liquids through the filling tube while the motor is running.
• Maximum kneading time: 1 minute – then allow the motor part to cool down for 10 minutes.

Recipe example: Pizza dough
250 g flour, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp dried yeast, 5 tbsp olive oil, 150 ml water (lukewarm).

Recipe example: Pastry
250 g flour, 170 g butter (cold/hard, small pieces), 80 g sugar, 1 vanilla sugar, 1 small egg, 1 pinch of salt
