How to make Whole Wheat Bread using a stand mixer

[Naviti7]

You said not to let it rise over an hour. Why is that?

@Naviti7 Yeast gives your bread its lift, however if you let it rise too much you will lose your gluten and your bread will go flat and be very hard.

hey! Can you please tell me what brand and model this mixer is? I was looking at the KA ones, the delonghi, and the bosch but I'm still so lost. This looks like a REALLY sturdy mixer! Oh and where did you get it and for how much? Thanks!

@beautyblogs This mixer is the 7 quart Viking. We love it we use it almost everyday. We bought it online several years ago. I don't remember where, but you can find them just about any where.

you said 5 cups of water but the notation said 4 cups. could you please verify for me. thanks.

@zenawanabe It is actually 4 to 5 cups depending on how well the liquid is absorbed, if your dough is too wet add that extra cup.

Why do you perfer the Viking over the Kitchenaid Stand mixer ?

[desertapples]

@04Z06RACER They are both great machines! We just opted for the viking because it had the largest bowl at the time.
