The Mixers I Tested

The [KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer for Bread](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=KitchenAid+Pro+Line+Stand+Mixer+for+Bread&tag=thetestedhub-20) is my workhorse. The bowl lift design handles heavy bread doughs without strain.

The Mixers I Tested

I kneaded sourdough, pizza, and brioche through five stand mixers to find which ones handled bread dough without walking off the counter.

Questions answered

Is a stand mixer better than hand kneading bread?

For wet doughs like ciabatta and brioche, absolutely. For lean simple doughs, hand kneading still produces excellent loaves with better technique.

How big of a mixer do I need for bread?

Five quart bowl handles two loaf batches comfortably. Seven quart bowls cover three loaves but the mixer must have a strong enough motor to match.
