Hi all:
Just wanted to say thank you for all the info I received when I had
questions on what kind of mixer to buy. Just received the Bosch Concept 7,
made 4 loaves of bread in it this weekend, and it was great! Made two whole
wheat, and two La Brea's rosemary olive oil.
Next major purchase is a grain mill. The bosch has a stone attachment, and
a steel attachment. Has anyone tried these, or is it better to go with
another stand alone brand? Any comments greatly appreciated.
Also, since the instructions were rather vague, I would like to know what
setting 1 - 4 that you use for the kneading. The other question I had was
that with just the whisk and the kneading blade, which one would you use
for something like mashed potatoes? My kitchenaid had the kneading, whisk,
and paddle attachment. The Bosch just has the two.
I also made some Stuffing Bread for Thanksgiving (recipe on KA's website).
This I made in the Zo bread machine. The first loaf was very dense and
didn't rise all that much. Since I was making three with the same
ingredients, on the second and third loaf I added some commercial "Dough
Enhancer" - 1 1/2 tsp. WOW - what a difference! Baked up at least 3-4" higher.
Regards,
CJC
