- Electric Dough Maker with Ferment Function, 5.3Qt Dough Mixer Machine, Perfect for Bread Pizza Roti Dumpling Dough & Sourdough, HMJ-A501

I have arthritis in my hands and just can't thoroughly knead bread dough. I have been using my stand mixer but still my sourdough bread came out rather flat. Using a dough mixer was suggested in a video I saw so it was the last thing to try before giving up. It worked great! It mixes and pauses repeatedly then goes into a rest cycle you can adjust the time on. For sourdough it is 120 minutes. Then you take the dough out, shape it and put it in a banneton then refrigerate to let it ferment to get a good flavor. It made the best loaves I ever got. I think this might be a model that will be replaced with a newer one. It had a good price and wasn't quite as pretty as the new model. But it is good enough for me and since I wasn't sure how much I would use it the cheaper price seemed good to me. It is a little noisy but not more than my stand mixer. I only make one loaf at a time so the size was great for me. It will do more than one loaf at a time but I'm not sure how many. It has super strong suction cups that hold it firmly on the countertop. That is good when it is working but kind of a pain to try to move it to wash the counter. Overall a really good dough mixing machine.

I am loving the dough maker! I’ve made bread, cinnamon rolls and pizza dough and each have come out beautifully. Very easy to use. I didn’t notice that the machine was noisy at all until I read the reviews. I feel that is a very good value and easy to use. I wasn’t asked to submit a review, but I wanted to share my thoughts on this wonderful time saver.

I used to knead dough by hand and it was tiring. This machine completely changed that. Just add ingredients, press a button, and it does all the work. It’s especially great for making bread and pizza dough. The results are consistent every time. If you enjoy baking but don’t want the hassle, this is a must-have!

So, I've only used it once so far, but oh my goodness how wonderful it was! I've been making bread from my own fresh-milled flour and using my stand mixer. What a mess, and so frustrating! The dough doesn't like the dough hook in that, it climbs up and sticks to the mixer, bringing in black grease- ugly. This dough maker is a breeze to use and a delight. I've made the best bread yet using the Joydeem bread maker!!

I love making bread but the kneading process is cumbersome, messy, and time consuming. This dough maker does the hard part for me, and I’m glad I purchased it. PROS: Efficient Good price point Easy to use: Step 1: press “mix,” -/+ time, press start. Step 2: Press “ferment” for a 90 min rise or hold down “ferment” for a 120 min rise and press start. Unplug when done. (You can also set your mix time then set your ferment time before pressing start and it will do it all in one go) CONS: it can be noisy. Not neighbors banging on your wall noisy, but if you get up early to knead bread before the family wakes up like Ma Ingalls you may have to do it by hand instead. It is also NOT dishwasher safe.

Works better than my KitchenAid mixer for kneading fresh milled flour dough. I let it mix and knead for 25 minutes, for one loaf of bread using fresh milled hard white wheat flour and it worked great! I removed the paddle after kneading and sprayed the bowl with a little avocado oil to prevent the dough from sticking while fermenting. I really like how the machine does the mixing/kneading and fermenting in the same bowl. The 5-quart size is perfect for my needs since I only make 2 loaves of bread a week. I highly recommend this dough maker especially if your using fresh milled flour.

What kind of mixer bowl doesn’t mix flour let alone make a dough? This is just junk!

I am impressed. I’ve started making various yeast breads for my family. This outperforms my Kitchenaid on so many levels. I love that it has the warming feature and helps with rise time. The machine is reliable, well made, and very easy to use and clean. Perfect for a home baker.

Really does the job nicely for you. Love the fact that the dough rise in the appliance. After it done all the hard work for you, you just have to bake it.

One of the best dough mixers we used. Just put 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of water and the dough is ready in a few minutes.

Works great for dough!

My Kitchenaid jumped all over the place when making bread dough. I bought this with skepticism but was amazed at how great it is. Definately recommend.

Blend the dough very good and raises it too
