[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make challah every week, so a breadmaker didn't appeal to me because I wouldn't be able to bake in it. But my husband bought me an electric dough maker and it's my favorite appliance. There are a few different versions out there but this is the one I have and my favorite feature is the built-in scale. It's also easy to clean and reduces the overall mess of breadmaking. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard of this kind of appliance. Judging from the number of reviews for the various machines, it hasn't really taken off yet. How many grams of water and flour do you use per batch? The Amazon description says it holds 3.5 lbs. of flour and 1.8 lbs. of water. Can it actually handle that quantity of a stiff, 50% hydration dough? [/quote]

I think that a lot of people don't know these exist and just do the equivelant in a breadmaker, but I like that the size of the machine reflects the capacity of dough it makes withouth wasting space on an "oven," which is a feature I don't need. In terms of that capacity, these days I use this recipe for challah https://www.challahprince.com/reciprince and it handles it well. At first I was worried because the sound the paddle makes once the dough comes together sounds like it's struggling but I've been running it weekly for almost a year and so far it's help up well without any slowing down.
