That job could be done in about 10 minutes by a stand mixer. Some bread recipes require upwards of 20 – 25 minutes of hand-kneading. This allows for you to make larger amounts of dough at one time, as well as freedom to multi-task. The machine does most of the work for you. So why do so many recipes call for a mixer if it can be done by hand? For one thing, it’s easier. If you’re a purest, maybe you’d even say it’s better by hand. If your perspective is similar to mine, you might even say making bread is easier by hand, not just possible. But, with simple alterations and method changes those loaves are possible by hand. Some loaves of bread are made with no kneading at all.Įven though you can make bread by hand, many, and I mean MANY, recipes do call for a stand mixer. A stand mixer will speed up the kneading time by several minutes, but nearly every common variety of bread can be made by hand with a relatively short hand-kneading time (about 10-12 minutes or less). So can you make bread without a stand mixer? You can make many different varieties of bread without a stand mixer. So many bread recipes call for kneading with a stand mixer that I wondered if it was even realistic to try and make bread without it. But I worried that my bread-baking days might be at an end if I got rid of it, or at least extremely limited. I had bought it hoping to make cooking and baking more convenient, and ended up hardly using it. Wattage will not make much difference, since a higher wattage will not necessarily affect the performance.Recently, I sold my stand mixer. Balance is another consideration when selecting, making sure the placement of the motor does not make it difficult to hold and tiring on the hand or arm.
If a wide range of foods are commonly prepared, select mixers that offer more speed settings and possibly more attachements, such as bread dough hooks, spatulas, whisks, sifters, and bowls. When selecting, choose a mixer that fits the types of foods being prepared and the balance offered by the design of the mixer. More settings give more control over the mixing process. Hand mixers that are electrical typically have several mixing speeds either in numbered settings or simply low, medium and high speeds. Hand mixers are used to beat, whip, and combine ingredients, all requiring a smooth functioning set of blades that turn easily and consistently during the mixing process. A manual or electrical kitchen utensil that consists of a set of beaters attached to a gear driven mechanism to rotate the blades of the beaters.
