How to Make the Best Homemade Pizza with Your Very Own Pizza Dough Mixer

If you’re planning to get your very own pizza dough mixer but are nervous about how you’re going to justify the purchase to your family, well, here’s a tip to make the best homemade pizza dough and pizza for your whole family. It is easy once you know the steps and you will save a lot of money once you’re a pro at it. Imagine eating your own pizza cooked out of your own oven. Wouldn’t that be cool?

You will need flour, sugar, some olive oil, salt and yeast to make the dough first. Measure out one and a quarter cups of water and a tablespoon of olive oil. Put them in the pizza dough mixer. Then measure out three and a half cups of flour and one tablespoon of sugar and a half tablespoon of salt. Put these in the mixer as well. Make a little hole in the middle of the flour mix and put in two and a quarter teaspoons of yeast. Set the pizza mixer to the dough setting and switch it on and you can watch it do its magic. When the mixing is complete, start it over, this time for a minute or two.

Let it mix until the dough becomes a ball in the middle of the mixer. Now you can turn it off and sprinkle some flour onto the pizza dough mix. Take it out and put it on a board or your kitchen top which should have been sprinkled with a good amount of flour. Give some time (several minutes) for the pizza dough to rise. Then pull out the portion you want to make the crust and roll it out nicely on the floured board. Once you get the thickness that you like, place it on a pizza pan.

Then comes the fun part, when you get to decorate the pizza with your very own favorite ingredients and put in as much as you want. If you put in any meat, make sure it has been cooked first. Leftover turkey meat is a great ingredient. Make sure you have preheated your oven to about 400-500 degrees F and pop your pizza in there for about 10 minutes. When the time is up, just remove the delicious smelling home made pizza and enjoy it slice by slice.

Try this out any which way you like, just keeping the dough base the same. Very soon you can even start your own pizza delivery especially to your privileged friends. As you can see, it is really not that difficult as it is often made out to be and with the pizza dough mixer, the job becomes even simpler.

So go ahead and buy your very own pizza dough mixer and start creating wonders from your own kitchen. You will become the envy of your neighbors as you enjoy your pizza in the garden in summer or just having it by the fireplace all snuggled up with a warm blanket.

Hand Dough Mixer

I have been using a hand dough mixer, I guess ever since I started cooking for myself back in the 90s. Of course, I have mastered a lot of skills along the way like maneuvering the machine in one hand and adding ingredients in the other. Don’t try this unless you’re a pro! You really don’t want a flour accident happening in your kitchen. Cleaning up is horrendous! I know because I have had my fair share of accidents! Anyway, to those of you who are new to the world of baking and cooking, let me highlight a few benefits of a hand dough mixer to encourage you to grow your culinary skills.

A hand dough mixer comes with a handheld handle that you can use to move the mixer around. This makes it easy to get a well blended pot of dough especially for your cakes. They also come with additional attachments if you want to get creative with your mixer. Hand dough mixers make your job of mixing really quick and almost effortless.

A hand dough mixer is definitely cheaper than the mixers that come with a stand. They are an ideal way to start using a mixer and when you feel comfortable enough, you can always advance to a stand mixer. They are great for light duty mixing, for example, mixing egg whites to get that fluffy consistency or for simple cake mixing. You can even use it for mashing potatoes.

A hand dough mixer is also pretty small and can easily be stored away in your drawers or kitchen cabinets. They are ideal for the occasional cake makers. They don’t take up a lot of space and are hidden from sight when you’re not using them.

Cleanup is easy with a hand dough mixer. You can remove the stainless steel parts that are used for mixing and wash them.

Granted, with the hand dough mixer, one hand has to always be on the mixer but it is actually quite versatile and can perform most mixing jobs that a heavy duty mixer can perform.
It is so simple that if you wanted to get your children involved in baking, this would be perfect way to get them started.

I have used my hand dough mixers to mix the ingredients for my special omelets. They come out really nice and bouncy because they have been well blended in the mixer. Making cookies are also easy – for each round of mixing I just have a base of flour, butter and sugar and add different flavors and nuts to make it different. In fact, I hand these out for Halloween because I think they are special and the kids that come round, love it because I make them in evil monster shapes and ofcourse, they are very tasty.

I hope I have got you all excited to go out and get yourself your very own hand dough mixer. Trust me, you won’t regret it and your family will love you for it!

Sunbeam Stand Mixer

Sunbeam has been manufacturing stand mixers for almost 80 years. The first of their famous Mixmaster line was introduced in 1930 at a cost of around $100, which had put it beyond the reach of many homes. Today, Sunbeam offers a variety of stand mixers, the least expensive at the same price as of 1930.

A good mid-range option is the Sunbeam Model 2351 Legacy Edition. It offers a dual motor (which allows three-way mixing movement), twelve speed selections, and 450 watts of power. Two stainless bowls, with the largest having a 4.5 quart capacity, are included, as are dough hooks, wire whisks, and heavy beaters. Expect to pay between $150 and $200 for this model, which is available in five colors—black, white, charcoal, red, and silver.

While few accessories are available, it is a good choice for most home kitchens. It may not be optimum for cooks who frequently prepare double and triple batches of cookie dough or heavy breads, but it has the capacity and power for normal day-to-day chores as well as the occasional special duty.

For those who either want to try out a stand mixer, or whose exploits are limited to mixing a cake batter or a single batch of cookies, the Sunbeam Model 2371 stand mixer is a good option. This model is priced around $100 and features a 350 watt motor, twelve speeds, a locking tilt head, and Sunbeam’s “Burst of Power” option. It comes with two glass bowls, dough hooks, whisk, and beaters.

If this is still too costly, consider the Sunbeam Model 2372 stand mixer. Modestly priced at around $35, this will handle everything a hand mixer does without the necessity of standing over the bowl. It offers six speeds and a 200 watt motor, and comes with a 3-1/4 quart glass bowl, beaters, and bread hook. It can be used with the stand or as a hand mixer. While it will not handle heavy bread doughs or large quantities, it is a good choice for those who simply do not want to have to hold a mixer and who are accustomed to preparing foods in smaller quantities or who do not have the counter space for some of the larger models.

All Sunbeam stand mixers are designed to make clean up easy, with sleek designs, quick beater eject buttons, and slow-start capability to reduce splatters.

For more than three-quarters of a century, Sunbeam stand mixers have been one of the most popular choices of American women. Prior to Sunbeam, stand mixers were several times the price and limited mainly to commercial uses. Sunbeam carved out a niche in the affordable stand mixer for home use, a position it continues to enjoy even today. Years of experience are behind every model, and decades of use have enabled the company to provide the most-asked for features. With a wide variety of models, prices, and options, Sunbeam stand mixers will likely continue to be one of the most popular brands for many years to come.

Hamilton Beach Stand Mixers

Hamilton Beach stand mixers are perennial best sellers, and there is one that is suitable for whatever is required.

Before purchasing a stand mixer, it is important to consider what one cooks, how one cooks, and how much space is available for one. For those who often bake bread or large batches of cookies, the high end models, with greater power and capacity, are worth the investment. However, if baking efforts are limited to occasionally whipping egg whites for a meringue pie, a less expensive model will serve the purpose for a lot less money.

At the top end, the commercial grade CPM-700 Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer offers 800 watts of power and a seven quart capacity (no manufacturer currently offers larger in a home unit). For users who want to mix up triple batches of cookie dough or bake bread in quantity, this is a great machine. It is easy to operate, with features such as a head that tilts back or pops up to make it a breeze to change attachments and a sleek, modernistic design for simple cleaning. Safety features include a recessed “On” button and an automatic cutoff when the head is not in place. The bread hook and beaters are heavy duty, as is the unit itself. It comes with a seven quart stainless steel bowl and mixing attachments, and, in short, is a true workhorse. Expect to pay between $450 and $500 for this one.

In the mid-range, the Ecletrics Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer is an attractive option. Available in a wide range of colors, this machine has a 400 watt motor and a four and half quart capacity (stainless steel bowl included). The handled bowl locks in place, and the standard unit comes with bread hook and beaters. The head tilts up to make attachment replacement or bowl removal more convenient, and is a good choice for the average cook, and will easily handle even the stiffest bread dough. This model is priced between $160 and $185, depending on retailer.

For a lower priced, more basic model, Hamilton Beach offers a convertible Hand/Stand Mixer. With 290 watts of power, this six speed mixer is perfect for those whose main use of a mixer is to beat a cake batter or whip potatoes. It comes with dough hooks, beaters, and a whisk, and can be purchased for $45 to $65 from a wide range of retailers. This model is a good choice for cooks who use a hand mixer most of the time but would like the option of “multi-tasking”, taking care of other chores while the stand mixer whips the egg whites or mixes the biscuit dough. A four quart stainless steel bowl is standard with this unit.

Like all Hamilton Beach products, the stand mixers co-ordinate with their other kitchen appliances for a pleasing look. Several Hamilton Beach stand mixers have a retro-styling to them, and they are all designed for easy clean up.

Cuisinart Stand Mixer

When selecting a stand mixer, it is important to consider how it will be used before deciding which brand to buy. For the serious cook—one who makes homemade pasta, bakes bread, or makes large batches of cookies—the Cuisinart Stand Mixer is certainly one to consider.

Cuisinart has been a leader in food processors, cookware, and small kitchen appliances for years. Although their stand mixers are relatively new, they have engineered them to have some excellent features.

The 1,000 watt motor is the most powerful in the field, and packs the power for even the heaviest dough. The Cuisinart Stand Mixer is available with a seven quart bowl (the largest available from any company), and packs a lot of features, including a locking tilt-back head that keeps it from falling back into the bowl (a common occurrence when beaters are heavy with dough).

There are three power ports to connect the optional attachments that will allow even more versatility, from making fresh squeezed juice to homemade pasta. A food processor attachment chops onions without tears; a mincer/grinder makes fresh ground meat; and after attaching the blender, it prepares great frozen cocktails.

The Cuisinart Stand Mixer also features an automatic timer that leaves you free to work on other tasks while the unit completes the chore, and a fold option that allows you to add other ingredients while the unit is running. Twelve speeds let you find just the right speed for the task, and an automatic shut off is a nice safety feature. The attractive unit is available in three colors (chrome, black, and white) and Cuisinart offers a three year warranty (five years on the motor).

A typical day in the life of the Cuisinart Stand Mixer might find it making fresh orange juice and pancake batter for breakfast, and then chopping up a fruit salad for lunch. In between, it can puree baby food prepared just the way Mom wants it, or whip up twelve dozen (or more) homemade cookies.

Weekend duty may include mixing up three meat loaves (one for dinner and two to freeze for later), chopping up vegetables for a quick stir-fry later in the week, or making meatballs to freeze for spaghetti or Swedish meatballs. It can mince the garlic and puree tomatoes for pasta sauce, as well as making the pasta. Easy clean up makes it a snap to switch tasks.

The Cuisinart is not the least expensive stand mixer on the market. Expect to pay between $350 and $500 for the basic unit (attachments are extra), depending on where it is purchased and whether the vendor is running a sale. (This is one item that is worth going online for, as prices vary considerably; in addition, you can often find a new or scarcely used one available from an individual on one of the online auction sites.) But for the serious cook, it is an investment in quality that will pay for itself not only in money but in the time saved.

For anyone who likes to prepare nutritious, tasty meals and treats—and spend less time doing it— Cuisinart Stand Mixer is the ultimate, do-it-all tool.
