Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
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?

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.

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
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. |

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
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.

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
I also use a Bosch mixer.
I bought it specifically for mixing bread doughs & to replace my bread machine.

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
The bosch looks very fancy. I'm not sure though I can justify the price for the occasional use of it.

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
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. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
If you have an Instant Pot with a yogurt button, that's how I do my dough rising.

Re: Bread Machine vs Stand Mixer
Do you have a good processor? If so do you ever make bread dough in that?
