Bestsellers for Stand Mixers
If you enjoy the taste and smell of fresh bread, you may have considered making your own at home. However, kneading bread dough by hand can be a tiring task that takes a lot of time and effort. That's where stand mixers come in handy.
Instant Brands, the makers of popular kitchen appliances like the Instant Pot, also offers a stand mixer that promises powerful performance and ease of use. But can it handle kneading bread dough? The answer is yes!
Here are instructions on how to use an Instant Brands stand mixer to knead bread dough:
- Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start kneading your dough, gather all your ingredients in one place. This includes flour, yeast, salt, sugar (if desired), water or milk, and any other add-ins like herbs or cheese.
- Attach the Dough Hook
The Instant Brands stand mixer comes with several attachments including a mixing paddle, a whisk, and a dough hook. To knead bread dough with this appliance, you'll need to attach the dough hook.
- Mix Your Ingredients
Add all your dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt) into the mixing bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Turn on the mixer at low speed and gradually add in your wet ingredients (water or milk). Increase speed as needed until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Knead The Dough
Once all ingredients are combined in the mixing bowl with the help of the dough hook attachment set up properly on low-speed setting for 5-10 minutes until it forms into one cohesive mass. The longer it is kneaded by the machine means the lesser duration required when done manually.
- Check Your Dough Consistency
After 5-10 minutes of mixing/kneading by machine check if it has reached its ideal consistency which is elastic, smooth, and springs back when pressed lightly with your finger. If it's still too sticky or too dry, you can adjust by adding more flour or water/milk.
- Rest The Dough
Once the dough has been kneaded to perfection, take it out of the mixer bowl and place it on a floured surface. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before forming into loaves to rest again before baking.
There you have it! These are the steps required to use an Instant Brands stand mixer to knead bread dough. With this handy appliance in your kitchen, you can enjoy fresh homemade bread without all the hard work!
