sparkysmum Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I bought my Kenwood Chef about 16yrs ago, 2nd hand. I think I paid about £30 for it. It is perfect< has never failed. I dont do bread in it tho' cos it doesnt seem to like doing small quantities of dough. Other than that Kenwood gets my recommendation.

Mercedes55 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I made my first loaf of bread this morning. I bought one of those bread mixes from Tesco as I haven't baked bread since about 1975 and don't have a clue! I mixed it up with the dough hooks and once it was all in a ball I took it out, rested it and then kneaded it by hand. I didn't realise you are supposed to prove it and put it back in the machine to knead it so I did all that by hand It seems to be okay, my mum has been here eating it and said it tastes lovely so for a first go I think it went okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcountrygirl Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have the red kitchenAid. I can honestly say I have never done so much baking. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have the red kitchenAid. I can honestly say I have never done so much baking. I love it. Same here. I love my KitchenAid. My cake making increased when I got the chooks to use up any older eggs but since I had my KitchenAid I make bread at least once a week too.

Mercedes55 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I keep reading it's easy to over knead dough in a mixer, anyone have a fool proof recipe they use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I used to make mine in my old Kenwood Chef and never had any problems; I just used it to knead for what seemed a reasonable amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
