Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer

charla · 06-23-2022, 11:34 AM

My bread machine fell off the counter and was damaged beyond repair. I hate working with dough especially gluten free dough and so was using the dough setting on it to make pizza dough and the like. I haven’t baked in it since going gf seven years ago. I have an awesome gf pizza dough bread machine recipe. Yet I’m wondering if I could make the same recipe in a stand mixer. Would a stand mixer be more versatile or is a bead machine better? Pros and cons of each?

Oh no!!!

You could probably do the same recipe in a mixer. Especially if you haven't been using the bread machine to actually bake it.

A mixer is something that you could buy second hand and clean enough ( or have a friend who isn't gluten free clean it for you) to use it.

I use my stand mixer for cookies, cakes and quick breads.

I have both and I love my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. But I do prefer my bread machine for making pizza dough and dough for rolls. I never bake in my bread machine.

The dough hook for a Kitchen Aid stand mixer is actually quite good at developing the gluten-- but you're not doing that with GF bread dough.

I guess the big difference is the automation. I can put all the ingredients in my bread machine and walk away. With a stand mixer, I'd have to set the timer for the kneading, then get it set up to rise and set another timer.

A Bosch has been wondrous for us. It can handle up to 14 pounds of dough without being bratty.

We have this one https://pleasanthillgrain.com/bosch-...sal-plus-mixer and it's been working for almost 12 years. My mom had her Bosch for almost 20 years before giving it to a friend who has been using it since.

I also use a Bosch mixer.

I bought it specifically for mixing bread doughs & to replace my bread machine.

The bosch looks very fancy. I'm not sure though I can justify the price for the occasional use of it.

I make bread dough in my bowl lift KitchenAid. Not regularly but every once in awhile. It works fine.

I had a Bosch years ago when I made whole wheat bread every week for several years.

I don't really understand buying a bread machine just to do the dough.

I'd just buy a mixer. Let dough rise in the oven with the oven light on if needed.

If you have an Instant Pot with a yogurt button, that's how I do my dough rising.

Do you have a good processor? If so do you ever make bread dough in that?
