I recieved this for a christmas gift and I never was a very good bread baker when working with yeast dough....I think it scared me as I truly hate to waste anything ( it goes way back from my german father that never ever waste)

anyway I purchased some mixes from mixes by Mona out of washington state. I hear they are very good but she suggests using her mixes the mixer way and not using a bread machine. Which I love the bread machine as I've never got a flop...does anyone do anything special with the kitchen-aid that will help me along? do you use the dough hook always???/ I heard some hate their kitchen-aid mixer and at $400.00 bucks I want to be able to get great results. any help ,,,,,, i accept all ....

thanks

read the instructions that come with it - it will direct you on when to use the dough hook and when to use the other attachments. (for muffins, I usually use the regular paddle, and if you like well mashed, fluffy mashed potatoes, the wisk is good for that as well.)

(I love my mixer. But it's not going to correct a bad recipe or problems in the cooking process for you.)

I've owned the Kitchen Aid for over a decade - it's the best thing I ever got for the kitchen.

For gluten-free doughs, I have never used the dough hook. I have always used the regular beater since our doughs are not as stiff as those using wheat as their base.

Really? I always felt that gluten free doughts where much much more thick. When I got my mixer(650 watt kitchen aid) I was told not to buy the less powerful one as the dought was much tougher on the mixer. That comes from my mom who does make a ton of both breads. Though, I hadn't made bread in about 10 years until I became gluten-free so I am not the best one to make a comment I guess.

She had said however, do not use the dough hook, to use the kind of "round one with the slash in the middle) hmm that was a bad description. The one that is like the hook, but does a full circle. It was because the dough doesn't hold shape as well as wheat based doughs.

Anyways, I love my Kitchen Aid mixer.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
