Many bread recipes are written specifically for stand mixers and will tell you how long and at what speed to mix, but you can still use one for a hand-kneaded recipe. You should run the mixer at relatively low speed to knead dough, and 10 minutes of kneading is a good rule of thumb for a basic bread. You want to mix until the dough is smooth and elastic in texture, and doesn't stick to thebowl.
- However, Millie loves to bake, so she's always keen to review stand mixers and other baking essentials.
- The stand mixer comes fully equipped with a stainless steel mixing bowl, a mixing paddle, a whisk, a dough hook, and a removable splash guard.
- Well, I found that the same bowl-lift design which keeps this stand mixer sturdy makes switching out the attachments a little tricky.
- Velez, Gordon, and Leshnick told us that one big threat to the longevity of stand mixers is overworking the motor.
- I was surprised the smaller capacity bowl could accommodate a full batch of pizza dough, but the motor handled it well, with minimal shaking at a lower kneading speed.
Plus, the mixer comes in more than 20 colors so you can customize your look. Tilt-head mixers are usually more compact, but bowl-lift mixers are a bit sturdier and more powerful—good for tough jobs like kneading dense bread dough. Tilt-head mixers also make it easier to swap out the beaters, but on the flip side, it’s a little easier to add ingredients to a bowl-lift mixer (when the bowl is lowered).

The Criteria: What to Look for in a Stand Mixer
The 5-quart stainless steel bowl was big enough to handle our cookie and bread dough batches and managed to incorporate both recipes’ ingredients quite well. We were particularly impressed by how well the bread dough mixed; the dough gained a notable elasticity that required no additional hand-kneading, which is often the case with other stand mixers. The one downside, however, was that the machine got louder and shook while mixing the dough.
High-end stand mixers
Stand mixers are considered kitchen MVPs, and when well taken care of, they can last for several years. Velez, Gordon, and Leshnick told us that one big threat to the longevity of stand mixers is overworking the motor. “The fastest way to burn out a motor is beating cold butter,” says Gordon. “The only time you should put cold butter into a mixer bowl is if you are making pie crust (pâte brisée method) or some type of dough where butter is slowly broken in,” she says. If you’re about to make something, and your butter is cold, she suggests leaving it out so it can reach room temperature, or softening it a bit in the microwave. All of the bakers we spoke to prefer to use KitchenAid stand mixers.
