Well if it works as good as the Bosch you can't go wrong at that price. I've got the older Bosch, nothing equals it for making copious amounts of bread dough other than the Ankarsrum which is near twice the price. When making most bread doughs always have your liquids in first and then add your flour and salt. And cut back on the flour by about 1 cup from the recipe directions.. then start kneading, within about 1 minute and a half you will be able to tell if it requires more flour because the bowl sides will be wet with dough,, so start adding flour by the tablespoon until the dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl and be careful about adding much more.. you can stop and poke it to see if its wet inside.. It's always easier to add more flour to a wet dough than it is to add water to a dry dough.. What happens if you start out with too much flour is it creates a shaggy dry dough and if you add water at that point it coats the sides of the bowl which makes the machine spin the dough ball around like a top, doing nothing but spinning it and usually requires you to remove it all and work the water in by hand.

Believe me, I had plenty of failures when I first got mine. It doesn't knead well with less than 4 and a half cups of flour so keep that in mind. I always use about 7-8 cups, which gives me 2 big loaves.. heck if you get all that stuff out, may as well make enough. For small amounts I use my bread machine or the mini dough hook that fits on the bosch slice shredder attachment

My recipe uses about 750 g of flour, so about 6+cups. Not sure why it turned out poorly other than cutting back on the flour by a small amount. Will try again in a few days/ |

Tonight I decided to try one of my favourite cakes, a Marble Chiffon. I may have over beaten the egg whites they were the stiffest I"ve ever seen. Cake turned out about an 1 1/2" shorter than usual, normally it's just above the pan.
Definite learning curve. |

I bought the artiste 01/10/2020, i've used it to make my 'universal' dough. I was thinking it would be big enough to handle the full batch but I'll have to keep halving it, I jammed the thing several times and had to wait for the thermal safety to reset.
I do like it for cookie doughs and what not, and it works WAY better than any of the three kitchenaid stand mixers when it comes to bread dough, but I think I may end up getting a bosch universal and a few stainless bowls for it. |

Rye starter can be easier to create than AP flour starter. Once it's going feed it with either. it will change and adapt. |
