Problems and Solutions with Bread Doughs

Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients Always start processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in slow, steady stream, only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it. If you hear liquid sloshing, stop adding it but do not turn off machine. Instead, wait until ingredients in work bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly. Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under feed tube; do not pour liquid directly onto bottom of work bowl.

Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients Butter or margarine, if not melted, must be cut into tablespoon-size pieces before being added to work bowl.

Blade rises in work bowl

Blade may not have been pushed down as far as it will go before processing started. Machine may be overloaded. Stop it, remove half the dough and process in 2

batches. Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise even though it cleans inside of work bowl. If dough feels very sticky, reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons flour through feed tube while machine

is running.

Dough doesn’t clean inside of work bowl

Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in 2 batches. See page 12 for machine capacity.

Dough may be too dry.

If it feels crumbly, add water - 1 tablespoon at a time - while machine is running, until dough becomes moist and cleans inside of work bowl. Wait 10 seconds between additions of water.

• Dough may be too wet.

While machine is running, add 1 tablespoon of flour. If necessary, add more – 1 tablespoon at a time – until dough cleans inside of work bowl and forms a ball.

Plastic dough blade is intended only for recipes calling for at least 3-1/2 cups of flour. If your recipe

calls for less flour, remove plastic dough blade and insert metal blade. Always use metal blade for recipes calling for less than 3-1/2 cups of flour, such as pizza dough.

Nub of dough forms on top of blade and does not become uniformly kneaded

Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them evenly in work bowl. Make sure that blade is firmly pressed back into place after removing the dough. Continue processing until dough is uniformly soft and pliable.
