I saw something on Facebook that had one of those "Elf on a Shelf" elves
squatting over the Hershey kiss on the cookie. It looked like he was
taking a dump on the cookie.

Oooh! I haven't made the peanut butter yet, just working on
the almond crescent dough this morning.

Assuming I get to the supermarket before tackling the peanut
butter, I will do the Kisses! Thanks!

My sil made acorns out of kisses and mini nilla wafers, no

I thought if Melba was still around, she'd know the answer.
Meanwhile, I was so excited I bought it like 15 minutes after
I posted. I really did have my heart set on the bowl lift.

I put that sucker to the test and made THREE batches of
almond crescent cookies at once. It didn't test the machine
at all, but it was kind of filling the bowl during mixing.

I just love it, I should have gotten this mixer years ago.

Thanks for the feedback.

When I got mine 30 years or so back, Nancy, I groused about the lift --
stop, lift, scrape, lift, start. Took me only a couple uses to get
used to it.

Ha, the first day I forgot to lift the bowl back into position
to mix a few times. Doesn't work that well when the paddle
doesn't reach the dough.

Tomorrow I'm trying my hand at making bread. Should be
interesting. The recipe uses the flat paddle, then the hook.

The paddle needs to touch the dough to be useful? Heh.

My mother-in-law gave me one about 35 years ago - it still works

(laughing) Yep, you're pretty much stuck. Even I had to deal with that

Bread is good but I prefer soup. I'm out of it too so I need to make
another batch very soon. First must buy chicken to make the broth
base.

I use a nice simple recipe that starts with the hook, Nancy. I'm Still
Mags posted it here maybe 3-4 years ago.

White Bread



Recipe By: Post to r.f.c., 10-14-2010. by ImStillMags

Yield: 2 loaves



Ingredients:



2 cups warm water, (110°)

4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup oil or melted butter

5 cups bread flour

2 teaspoons salt, (use 1 tablespoon)



Directions:



Combine water, yeast, and sugar; let proof for 5 minutes. Add oil.
While yeast is proofing, whisk together flour and salt in mixer bowl.

Add yeast mixture to flour and stir in. Using a dough hook, mix for
about 5 minutes on low speed.

Cover bowl and place in a warm, draft-free, place (oven that was
preheated for one minute is a good spot if the weather is cool) and let
raise for 25 minutes.

Punch down dough and divide into two 1-1/2# portions. Preheat oven to
350 degrees.

Roll out to rectangular shape, embellish as desired or leave plain, and
roll up, placing formed loaf seam side down on an oiled pan. Cover
with oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 25 minutes. Bake in preheated
oven for 25-35 minutes.





Notes:



Good recipe and it makes a nice light loaf, though I think it can use
more than the two teaspoons of salt the recipe calls for. When I made
it the first time, I sprinkled rosemary, garlic, cheese, and kalamata
olives on the dough before rolling. Couldn't taste the rosemary. :-(

There are lots of possibilities for embellishing the loaves.

If I'm doing a freeform loaf, I use more flour for a little stiffer
dough that doesn't spread so much in rising.

Years ago, I would have said they were about equal. The newer Kenwoods,
though, are flimsy compared to current KitchenAids.
I have a Kenwood in Scotland, which replaced one which decided that it
only had one speed - extra fast. The cost of the parts to repair it
wasn't that much less than a new one (on sale). I have a bunch of
Kenwood attachments (which won't fit a KitchenAid), which is why I
stayed with Kenwood.

I have no experience of the big pricey Kenwoods, though.

In my US kitchen, I have a KitchenAid.

How about soup? I cooked the shank slices (lots of meat) last night
and defatted this morning. I'll freeze the broth (in liter quantity)
and meat separately. When I want to do vegetable soup, I'll cook the
vegetables in the broth and add the meat to heat. Pretty tasty.

The original bakery machine, miniaturized for the home kitchen as
KitchenAid, was made by Hobart. A local bakery has a bakery version on
display and it's surprising to see a mixer six feet tall!

Not yet. It's on my Amazon wish list.

Yes, I've seen those!
My original KitchenAid (now in my daughter's kitchen) was made by Hobart.

Oh, okay, I'll use that one next time. When I looked through
the book that came with the mixer, a couple of the recipes
looked kind of dicey to me, so when I decided to make bread,
I just looked around for a stand mixer recipe. This is what
I made:

Came out nice, though I had my doubts when the dough didn't
rise as much as I expected.

Thanks for posting the recipe and comments again.
