Kitchenaid Bread Disaster!

Feb 05, 2004 4 Replies

Hello, All ! I received a Kitchenaid Artisan mixer for my birthday..Oh Boy! Time to make some bread!



I tried their white bread recipe in the book which comes with the mixer. Tried it twice, in fact. Both times the loaves were small, heavy, and not fully cooked in the middle.



The major deviation from my old way of making bread is that they tell you to roll the dough flat then roll it up to form the loaf. Before, I would simply punch it down a bit then form the loaves.



I'd sure appreciate some help with this and a recommendation of a good cookbook with recipes using the Kitchenaid,



Thanks a bunch!

Try posting this over at rec.food.baking

Then get Julia Child's Baking cookbook from the library.

I agree that the yeast seems to be the culprit. Did your dough rise at all during the initial rest period, and before you placed the loaf in the oven?
