Can I make pizza dough with this processor or should I get a bread machine?

It will handle some types of dough, just remember what it is designed to do and that is food processing. I have read comments that it will not handle heavy tasks. It is not built for heavy tasks as a steady diet. It is true that if you are going to use it for heavy tasks, then buy one made for that purpose. Don't do as some and buy this for the price and then complain about how they break it. It is a simple processor that will from time to time handle tough jobs. Don't be cheap and then complain about the product, use it for its intended purpose instead.

It does not come with a dough blade. As I make bread dough in my mixer, I have not attempted to make any in this processor.

We have not made Pizza dough but pg. 35 of the instructions has a recipe for it. It should not be a problem. The recipe does require semolina flour and olive oil. It is probably not a problem.

I used the bread maker to mix mine, so I can't see why you could do the same with a food processor. :)

Well I did not use it to make dough yet but ice cream! It is an amazing and powerfull machine (325w), which I really believe it is going to do this work easily! For for it!

It is a wonderful machine. It comes with both slicing and shredding disk, a bread kneader and a slicing round blade. I make French bread in a minute. I have the recipe if you are interested.

The machine is not very good. I tried using it on fondant and it pulls the dough on one side. It is too narrow for pizza dough. I wish I returned it. I hope this helps.

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

I have! I use the "dough" option (I think #9) and it works great! I use a recipe from a cookbook I own. 1 Cup of water, 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 3 Cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. Salt, 2 Tbsp. dry yeast. Let the machine do the work, and 1.5 hrs later..boom! Pizza dough ready for handling or freezing for later! :) (Optional flour combos I've done: 1/2 C. Corn meal flour, 1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour, and 1 C. bread flour. You can also add spices like garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme...to add extra flavor!)

I never saw where it came with a dough hook--mine certainly didn't, and I don't think this particular model is strong enough to even knead dough, or sturdy enough. It's difficult enough to knead doughs with a powerful mixer, I've never heard of doing it with a food processor. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

This is a pasta maker atachment, that snaps into the kitchen aid mixing head.You might be able to use it for pie dough, but the mixer itself does such a good job mixing any kind of dough you put into it,I dont know why you want to use anything else.

This machine is good for making pie crusts or even pizza dough... but not kneading dough in the process for making bread.

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 do not make bread loaves from it. I make pizza crust. By adding Italian seasonings it makes great pizza crusts
