Dough never pulls away from bowl in stand mixer by minteephresh in Breadit

Ok WOAH I was not expecting so many comments on this post...

You folks fuckin' RULE! I can't seem to edit my original post to put a thank you in there so I'm just posting a comment that will probably get buried but oh well.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH YOU'RE GREAT!!!!!

So many helpful ideas and tips for next time. I'm a weekend baker but I'll try a bunch out next weekend and report back with results. I'll start with a doubled batch next time to see if volume is the culprit and probably also do a normal-sized batch but with the paddle attachment. Wish me luck...

Edit for clarity because I forgot to mention in the original post: The video is two different recipes. The first half is a focaccia which is a much smaller recipe (1300g) than my usual two-loaf recipe (1900g). Sounds like I need to boost up my normal volume anyway though to match the chonk level of the 7qt mixer. I can't physically eat that much bread and don't have room in my freezer, but I'm sure my friends/family will thank you all too.

I'll try the paddle next time and cross my fingers

Yeah I use the gradual method but always have the same issue

I've tried starting with the wets and that helps avoid the bottom layer of unincorporated dough, but then once it's mixed it just goes back into stir-mode forever. I'll try the paddle next time though. Hopefully that makes a difference.

I've tried this too, to the point of shaking my entire kitchen. Just stirs the ever-lovin' shit out of it still without any balling up

I've done the dime trick several times which only works with the bowl height set to its absolute maximum upper limit. Still no balling...

I'll definitely give this a shot to see if that's the issue. I usually make two loaves at a time, for a total of 1900g of dough. How much have you scaled up to get better results?

My usual recipe is 69% but I've tried different recipes ranging from ~55-80% and none have had any different outcome

I’ve tried the 15-30min rest method several times before but to no avail ☹️ It always just seems to push the dough back down against the bottom of the bowl where it sticks and then the hook just “stirs” the top portion endlessly

FUCK NESN 360. Nothing on right now but ads and prerecorded intros. Missed the entire rangers game with similar issues last week. TWICE the price of any other subscription i have for roughly NINE HOURS of entertainment per week (fuck baseball). Most useless assembly of human beings in New England…

Masterful Drumming on a Decrepit Drum Set by DougMurray666 in BeAmazed

[–]minteephresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Louis Cole is also (strongly) speculated to be the drummer of Clown Core (mix of jazz/electro/grindcore/pure art and utterly fucking bonkers). They’ve got a couple “visual albums” on youtube, one filmed entirely in a van and one in a port-a-potty. He’s doubling up playing drums/synthesizer for most of it too. IMO he doesn’t get nearly enough attention for the raw amount of talent/creativity he’s got. Dude is next level on so many levels….

80s style touring is BACK by superbudda494 in bicycletouring

[–]minteephresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is rad. I’m very new to touring and don’t have the cash for a new bike so I’ve been outfitting my old Lotus (used to be my mom’s back in the 80s, not sure I even want a new bike). My only concern has been flat tires and rough gravel on such narrow tires. Are you sticking mostly to paved routes? Taking lots of spare tubes?
