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.

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?)

Simply use the dough setting and make into any shape or loaf you wish. It works well.

Yes you can! You can make all kinds of dough and even jams. This machine has a dough cycle so you can use it only for making dough if you prefer to shape and bake in the oven. A good book to get along with it is The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook by Beth Hensperger. It has so many easy recipes and has a great pizza dough one. I use this machine constantly and love it.

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.

Hi Karen. If the bread dough is light, not heavy or stiff, it will do well. If it is chewy and hard you wont be able to mix it or knead it.Regards

Rye in all its variations is the ONLY type of bread I make with this machine: Jewish - with or without pickle juice, seeded and unseeded, stone ground, fine milled, light or dark rye flour, multi-grain and a myriad of other combinations with added ingredients such as olives, bacon, various cheeses, etc. All of it turns out great, the crust can be set from soft to crunchy, the inside from firm to fluffy. The advantage of this machine is the fact that I am not restricted to preprogrammed scenarios but am able to choose my own cycles, their sequence and duration. The end result is a great individual, custom composed loaf of bread - up to two and a half pounds.

Absolutely! I use the dough cycle on my bread machine all the time with Caputo 00 flour. This is a 'wetter' dough than a normal pizza dough. It can be a bit sticky, but a floured surface and floured hands are all you need. Once you are used to working with this type of dough, it's no more difficult to use than any other flour. Keep in mind, however, unlike with many more forgiving recipes, bread and pizza dough (especially, this type) really need to use exact measurements and less guesswork (and a HOT oven). Here is a perfect recipe for pizza dough with Caputo 00 flour (make it by weight and, if possible, let it sit over night in the fridge. Or not!): http://www.fornobravo.com/PDF/Using-caputo-tipo00.pdf I use the bread machine's dough cycle with this recipe and it is always perfect!

Yes. Try it on rye bread, it's the best. Wait til it is fully baked. Hope this helps :))

Yes I had no problem grinding rye or any of the hard wheat's with this grinder. I did put the grain through on the medium grind before grinding it on fine. The flour made great rye rolls.

D, The smallest batch the Ankarsrum would knead well is about a 2-loaf batch. Regards, Pleasant Hill Grain

Separate attachment for atta kneader is also provided as advertised. We haven't actually tried for kneading dough though.

In looking at the instruction book...you apparently can mix bread but need the optioinal DOUGH HOOKS "with this the Hand Mixer can also knead yeast bread doughs". I don't have this part.

NO. not successfully. Yeast is necessary for good bread making. This machine does a good job as is required. Alvin.

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..

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.

Not a problem. My normal loaf is a no knead bread dough recipe that uses more flour than that.
