• I also don't worry about it being sticky. I use my KA mixer with hook for the one loaf version. Water first, yeast, stir a little, sugar, salt. At this point, if I want to add herbs or garlic, I ad... - VikingMiss on Bread 911!
  
  
• Oops. One more thing: don't double Suzanne's two-loaf recipe. That's too much dough for your mixer to handle at once. The two-loaf recipe is already "doubled" for you.... - UlrikeDG on Bread 911!
  
  
• I think the worst part about learning to make bread is that you have no idea what it should LOOK or FEEL like at the various stages. I'm not going to tell you not to use your stand mixer. I love mi... - UlrikeDG on Bread 911!

• I make bread with my stand mixer all the time (at least once every 2-3 days). Do you have a scale? That's actually the easiest way to get the right ratio of flour to water. It's clear that your dough ... - Faith on Bread 911!
