Prepare all your ingredients at your workstation. Warm the KitchenAid® Bread Bowl by filling it with hot water – then, pour out the water and pat dry. Add the flour, yeast, and salt into the Bread Bowl and affix it to your KitchenAid® Artisan Stand Mixer; insert the dough hook and lock the head in place.

Turn the mixer to speed 2 to combine dry ingredients.
Switching from making bread by hand to using a stand mixer can help streamline even the most technically challenging bread recipes. Using a stand mixer allows you to mix ingredients evenly, then knead the dough quickly without transferring ingredients out of the bowl.
HOW LONG SHOULD I KNEAD BREAD DOUGH IN A KITCHENAID ® MIXER? 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.
