How well does this work for blending dough?

I returned this food processor. It was cheaply made and the plastic cracked within the first month. I do not recommend th,is product.

I have the earlier incarnation, also plastic, and still alive and well after a few decades. It works very well for pastry dough- pie crusts and tart shells. Cookie and bread dough- I doubt it. You might very well damage it using it for something that heavy.

I have never used it to blend dough and I do not think this appliance would do well with that.

I have not used this for dough. I don't believe it would do a good job of bread dough or cookie dough. It is probably too small for dough also.

No, this is not what this product is intended for. It is however great for blending and cutting in dough.

I have not used the mixer for dough as of yet, , however I did use cookie dough and it seemed to do well using the dough utensils.

It depends how tough the dough is. This is not a very powerful mixer and I think a heavy dough could possibly burn up the motor. It works well for whipping eggs and cream.

I have used the Grundig about 6 times now to blend various cream type soups. It works very good indeed. However, since I have never used a Cuisinart, I can't say whether or not it's as good. From my brief experience with it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand held immersion blender. Hope this helps you out in making a decision.

I haven't tried that yet, but I think it should work great along with the authentic foods dough enhancer. Hope this helps.

it comes with two of the dough hooks, so I imagine it is fully capable of doing that. I don't know that I would try to do anything heavy duty with it, but since it does come with hooks, it is capable of mixing doughs. Hope that helps!

The only thing I make is cheese straws and the motor is not strong enough to push dough thru. Therefore I have never been able to use it. Sorry�...

Never tried mixing cookie dough with the dough whisk, but can imagine that it would work very well with that kind of dough. It is very similar in a way to the dough hook that I used in my Kitchenaid, it does exactly the same job.

It depends on the kind of dough. It works fairly well for cookie dough as long as the dough does not get too stiff.

I highly recommend it! Just add flour slowely but a must if using highly speeds. The only thing you can't use it with is the dough hook but that is slow speed. I consider it an essential piece of the mixer.

The mixer will work for lower volume dough but not as well because it is designed for large batches. I used it to make pizza dough, only using a total of 4 c. My experience is it just takes a bit more time to get the dough thoroughly mixed before it really starts kneading it. Hope this helps.

I use it differently for different purposes. For blending dry ingredients I use it like a spoon; for heavy doughs I'll use it like a whisk and spoon- stirring, folding and going around vertically like a bicycle wheel. I use the edge of the large diameter to get into the bottom corners of the Cambros that I mix bread dough in. It's a wonderful tool -hope this helps!

I wouldn't recommend it for heavy doughs. I would use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer for that.

To be honest, I haven't attempted kneading dough. I use it mainly to prep vegetables,grate/shred cheese, and mixing liquids.

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

I agree with Breville on this. I mix bread dough with this all the time. More than enough power to do the job.
