Bread Dough Mixer

Mixers come in all shapes and sizes these days and of course; their prices vary depending on their functionality. But if you have ever used one, you would know that the ease they bring to your cooking and baking is phenomenal. So, why should you use your hands when you can use a bread dough mixer to make bread? Here are a number of reasons why:

Bread Dough Mixers run on electricity and with a press of a button, your mixing starts. Think about the energy you have to put when you have to knead your dough for bread with your bare hands. It can be quite a workout for your poor hand muscles. With a bread dough mixer, all you have to do is put in the right amount of flour and your main ingredients, and Walla! In minutes your dough is done.

I know this may sound gross to some of you but have you ever thought of the hands that mixes the dough? Without elaborating further, the hygienic factor alone should entice you to use a bread dough mixer.

With a mixer, you can actually make a lot more bread at one go because of the amount of work needed for each batch. With kneading dough with your hands, after one round you’re probably tired out but with a bread mixer, two or three batches and you’re still smiling.

You can actually make bread everyday if you wanted to, just mix the dough the night before and let it rise over night and in the morning, pop in the oven or bread maker and you can enjoy fresh bread every morning for you and your family.

You can actually save money making your own bread considering how expensive even a loaf of plain bread has become. Not to mention, the amount of time you will spend on making them. It’s just so much faster with a bread dough mixer.

When you make your own bread, you can add other nutritional ingredients in them to make it more delicious like raisins, nuts, seeds or even fruits and with a mixer, it won’t get all mushy and gooey on your hands. You can even try different types of flour for a healthy option. The mixer does all the work.

Besides with a bread dough mixer in your kitchen, you can actually use it for preparing other foods as well like mashed potatoes and who doesn’t like mash potatoes to go with their soup and bread and steak.

You would also be impressing your friends with your bread making skills and who knows your simple hobby might even turn out to be a lucrative business if you start selling your fresh home made bread to your friends.

The only problem you might face though with a bread dough mixer is that you might find more friends coming over to your place for breakfast for some freshly baked bread to go with their morning coffee!

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!
