I notice on her video that Pamela recommends a stand up mixer. I don't have one, nor a bread machine. Can I use this mix without either one of these?

I don't have a stand up myxer either. I used this mix in a bread machine and found the loaf to be rather solid. I also used it as a base for modifying bread mix with other ingredients added how to make it with more texture. I hand mixed with my hand mixer my electric mixer then added knots flax meal almond meal to provide more texture.

It might be difficult with a hand mixer, but I assume it would work if it had a strong motor! This dough is very soft-- not dense and stringy like wheat dough. Doubt quote me on that, though :)

One did not come with my mixer. However, The mixer slips off the stand easily and can be used as a portable mixer. Nenah

I don't know if there are more accessories available or not but this is a basic lightweight mixer, even the dough hooks that come with it are pretty much a joke and I would never try to mix bread dough with this mixer. It is find for everyday simple mixing tasks.

I don't think so. You should buy a stand mixer for bread dough. We do sell them and have refurbished ones for about 200 dollars on our amazon store. thank you

I make bread in my mixer using 2,000 grams of flour and have no problems mixing at all. That makes 4 loaves of bread. I have mixed for 2-7 minutes and all works fine.

While there are bread makers for gluten free mixes, I don't own one. That said, I use my regular machine set on the dough cycle to mix and let the dough rise. I then transfer to a loaf pan and bake in my conventional oven according to the directions on the package. This works great for me!

I have not used the food processor. I have used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer and this does a really good job. I just follow the instructions. I once over-proofed(let it rise too long on second proof and the bread was rather porous.) However it had a great taste, just a bit holey. King Arthur will answer your questions quickly. They are most helpful and very knowledgeable.

Hello Vonda, it is funny Amazon wanted me to give you feedback on biscuits, Just the other day when I looked in my pantry I thought about making them. The only differences is I was going to use Pamela's all purpose pancake and waffle flour(the flour in the yellow bag) I love Pamela's all purpose flours. Only one time did I have a total flop. Please let me know how your biscuits turn out, if you can.

I usually use mine to mix cookie dough or batter for pastries. I mixed a cinnamon roll type dough with it, and there were no problems. I like mine very much - and pleased with the overall quality. I'm not a professional baker, so I didn't think a $300 stand mixer was worth my time...which is why this appealed to me. I don't like the pouring shield though - it got in the way, so I just removed it.

I don't even have a bread machine and mix the whole recipe by hand. It turns out just fine. I do, however, mix the yeast in the warm water and add a teaspoon of sugar (yeast grows better in sugar water). The bread made with this mix is our favorite and has always turned out just great. For a bread machine, use the whole bag and follow the recipe. I do cover the top with foil in the last 20 minutes or so. Note: I always mix the wet ingredients together first, add half the bread mix, stir together, then add the rest of the mix and stir it together.

Don't know if you have received any feedback re: bread making, but I've got the same question(s). Is the 9 cup model powerful enough and large enough to initially mix up a dough ball? I'm replacing a smaller food processor primarily for that purpose and don't want to find this is the wrong machine after I buy it.

No, you use it basically the same way you would use Bisquick. There are some fabulous recipes on the Pamela's website at www.pamelaproducts.com. Just be sure that you get the recipes for the baking and pancake mix, because there are also recipes for the biscuit and scone mix. Enjoy!

I have never made it by hand. I always use a bread machine. It is very good bread.

No you need to do that separately but if you have a kitchen aid mixing machine use that or mix by hand

its a very durable high quality hand mixer -great for general mixing -but if its a hook you require ( for stuff like pizza dough etc. )the more durable stand Kitchen aid mixer is what you should use !
