How long do you knead bread dough in a stand mixer? If using a KitchenAid ® model, mix bread dough in a stand mixer for no more than 2 minutes, then knead for 2-4 minutes more depending on the recipe. You'll need to adapt the hand-kneading time in your favorite recipes so you don’t over-knead.
Many people make bread in their stand mixer. It's quick and easy! It's important not to exceed the capacity of your bowl, so make sure to read your Owner's Manual for maximum flour capacity. If you use all-purpose flour, you can hold more. For specialty flours, such as whole wheat and bread flour - you must use less.
