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.

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.

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.

Sorry I have not made rye bread yet - I bake only LOW CARB BREAD It's hard to find Low carb bread recipesbut just yesterday I got a new book "Bread and Breakfast" By Diana Lee from Amazon and It's ALL Low carb RecipesOne of the best features of this bread machine is the optional dual pan that allows you to bake 2 one pound loaves of DIFFERENT KIND at a time.J.H.

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 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 :)

To be honest, I haven't attempted kneading dough. I use it mainly to prep vegetables,grate/shred cheese, and mixing liquids.

I have never tried bread dough in a food processor, only in a mixer with dough hook. Since you must stop and let the processor motor cool for one minute after every minute of processing, I have doubts as to trying to knead dough. The processor works so quickly, I've rarely had to run it for more than a minute to complete any cutting or grating task.

As far as I know, the machine will handle just about anything you can throw at it. I make bread all the time. If the dough is very wet, you would probably use the paddle rather than the dough hook, but I would start with the dough hook to see.

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.

I used recipes from no-knead bread and the bread baker's apprentice. The bread maker did a good job but you have to accept the shape which is not like a loaf.

I haven't tried breading with it, but if you let the mixture set for a few minutes it gets pretty gooey, so I would think that you could.

I bought this bread machine for a friend. I am sorry that I don't know if it can make whole wheat bread.

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

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.

Yes, you could use this to make dough, like pie crust, pizza dough, some bread dough, etc. However, it is not like an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment that you could use to knead dough. No food processor really kneads dough, it just mixes it to bring the dough together then you knead it by hand, if/as needed.

I just made a huge batch of thick oatmeal cookies and it worked great. I don't know about bread but I would not suggest it since it does not work with the dough hook, just the cookie paddles and wire whips.
