Top Tips
• Dough mode can be used with a maximum of 1kg of dough.
​
• Grind whole grains in your Thermomix® to make a variety of wholegrain flours for your breads.
​
• Add ingredients such as raisins, nuts, grated cheese or olives after kneading, then knead again for a few seconds to incorporate.
​
• Doughs such as brioche and cinnamon buns can require longer kneading times because fat (e.g. butter, vegetable oil) can inhibit gluten formation.
​
• To test if your yeast is still active: Place 200 g water, 1 tsp dried instant yeast and 1 tsp caster sugar in mixing bowl and heat 3 min/37°C/speed 2. Transfer to a bowl and leave for 10 minutes. If mixture is frothy and bubbly, the yeast is active. If not, the yeast needs to be replaced.
​
• If the dough is stuck at the bottom of the bowl or around the blade, tip the mixing bowl upside down and twist the blade from underneath to loosen.
​
• To remove sticky bread dough from the blades, remove as much dough as possible from the mixing bowl then mix 5 sec/speed 7.
Dough
The dough function is designed for kneading ingredients to make various types of dough, such as bread, pizza, or pastry dough. It replicates the kneading process by using controlled blade movements, ensuring a smooth and elastic texture, while saving time and effort compared to manual kneading.
