USING THE DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade can mix end knead dough in a fraction of the time it takes to do il by hand There are two general types of yeast dough
1 Typical bread dough is made with a fiour mixture that centains at leas150% white flour It is uniformly sort, pliable and etightiystick when properly kneaded it always cleans the inside of the work bowl completely when properly kneaded
2.Typical sweet dough contains a higher preporlion of sugar, butler and/or eggs than typical bread dough, it is rich and sticky, and does net clean the Inside of the work bowl It requires tess kneading after the ingredients are mixed
DO NOT try to use the food processor to knead dough that is too stiff to knead comfortably by band
Because the dough blade does not extend to the oulside rim or the work bow_, it cannot pick up all the flour when small amounts are precessed Therefore, use the dough blade when
a recipe calls for mere than
