So if you have ever needed how to make bread with a KitchenAid, then this video in the recipe section below will show you how.
If you learn to make one thing in life, make it bread. I have lost count of how many times I have made bread, due to being snowed in during winter months. I always keep strong bread flour and yeast in my cupboard, so whilst others are trying to find a sliced loaf. Baking homemade bread keeps me happy and content in my kitchen, which fills my home with the wonderful aroma of baking bread. Baking bread is a great stress reliever too, as I find kneading somewhat therapeutic. Most the time though, I use my Kitchenaid mixer with its dough hook, which gives great results. This is a great solution for those who may have arthritis or joint pain in their hands.

Description
How to make white bread with Kitchenaid Mixer, an easy store cupboard recipe on how to make bread at home. Many wonder how to make bread dough, and ask if they can make bread dough with a dough hook successfully? So if you have ever needed how to make bread with a KitchenAid, then this video will show you how to do it.
Ingredients
- 500 g strong White flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- A little olive oil for greasing
- 7 g (1 generous teaspoon) easy bake yeast
- 300 ml luke warm water
Instructions
Add flour and sugar to a large bowl, place the salt one side of the bowl and the yeast the other side of the bowl. The reason I do this, is that salt can kill yeast, so to place it away from each other initially helps. Add enough water and mix to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough (I tend to use setting 1 ) on a lightly floured surface for up to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using my mixer with dough hook, I also knead for ten minutes.
Place the dough in a bowl which has been greased lightly with olive oil inside. Place the dough inside and then cover it with cling film tightly. This stops a skin developing on the dough. Leave in a warm place to rise until it has doubled in size which may take around an hour. If your house is cold it can take up to three hours! Remove the dough onto a floured surface and knock back the air. Place in a 900 g loaf tin, cover with a big loose bag and let it prove a little longer for half an hour sometimes longer depending on the heat of your home. Don’t put in a deliberately hot place though, as that can affect the dough. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees centigrade.
When ready to bake, slash the top of the dough and dust with a little extra flour. Place into the oven for around 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees centigrade and cook for a further 20 minutes. Check that it is cooked by tipping the loaf out of the tin and tapping the bottom, it should sound hollow.
Place the bread on a wire rack, and let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
If it starts to brown too quickly for your liking, place some tin foil on top and continue to cook.
