can this model knead dough for rye bread?

Yes.... BUT remember, rye flour has no gluten, so you will be adding other flours and perhaps more gluten. So, it will require at least 7 minutes of continuous kneading to make the gluten activate. It can be hard on these machines. It can be done, but don't use more than two loaves worth of flour/ingredients. I'm a prime example of killing KitchenAids from making bread. These machines just aren't made to handle more than two loaves worth. Unless you like replacing mixers every two years.

Yes! We use it weekly for pizza dough. Just use the recipe in the book or write to me and I will give you the one we use. I also make Honey Oat bread on the dough cycle (number 7 on my breadmaker) and bake it in my regular oven for a different shape loaf.

Maybe...is my best guess. When I make a yeast dough for pizza or flatbread, I know I have to work the dough or it just springs back. So, if you are already working the dough, I would think that a rolling pin or if you are adventurous, a few tosses overhead to stretch the dough. I do see how the press would give you a nice flat round. I just don't think it would be any faster or more efficient since you couldn't just punch down the dough and press it. I think you would still have to work the dough and stretch it by hand before you press it. On the other hand, it would give you a nice, thin, even piece of dough (do you really want it that thin?)

Yes, there is a dough cycle that mixes, kneads and rises but does not bake. I use it all the time for pizza and sticky bun recipes.

You can knead bread on this certainly or make pizza on it. But if you are making pizza on it and kneading pizza dough on it it will be getting covered with flour and bits of dough will stick to it and you do not want that. It needs to be clean and smooth and oiled.

I have not tried making bread dough as the manufacturer hasn't recommended it.It's mentioned specifically that its only for chopping, shredding n slicing..

There is only one collapsible paddle that sticks in the bread every time. It kneads and mixes the dough. It doesn't do it for me. Maybe you'll have better results.

No reason why not. Just as with any bread machine you would not be able to delay the start of the bread because the wet ingredients would react with the yeast. This machine may be better equipped to do non-standard recipies because all the stages are configurable.

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

It's geared more toward rolling out pasta once you've formed it into a ball of dough. I think you would need a bread kneader attachment on a processor.

If you are making breads, this dough hook is perfect for kneading dough. It is the only one I use. I have no comparison to a spiral hook.

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

Yes! I am not sure I would try it on bread dough...but it does not come with dough hooks anyway.

I gave this unit as a gift so I can't answer difinitively, but I do have a bread maker and can make rye or sourdough bread in it as long as I follow recipes intended for a bread maker.

Julio, I'm not really sure what you mean by "deal with", in other word it wouldn't grind seeds or grains, but it will knead them into the dough. For example the accompanying recipe book features a recipe for 7-grain bread using 7-grain cereal. I haven't used whole grains yet, so I can't say from personal use. However, this machine has two little paddle bars that do the kneading, presumably due to the loaf's horizontal shape, instead of the vertical size in less expensive machines. So they probably can handle using grains, raisins and nuts, etc. I hope this helps you.

Sorry, I have never used a bread machine. If you use other regular flours instead of premade mixes when you use your machine, I would think this Rye Flour would work just fine for you. Hope this helps :)

Yes It does slice bread. See my photos on the Amazon info page. Also you can get a second bread special blade. I have used the slicer on home made ryes.
