Finally getting around to using the starter that ThatOneDude @ThatOneDude sent me. My fucking mixer took a shit on me. The gears are stripped, but I think I got it mixed enough. My stimulus money is going toward a new mixer.


Can you walk me through your process using the mixer? Also the gears are designed to do that and I'm 99.99% sure they are readily available and fairly inexpensive.

My mixer is a bit different than the video you posted. I’ll take it apart and check it out. What do you mean walk you through the process? I put the stuff into the thing then flip the switch.

My dough comes out like shit. Do you use the hook the whole time?
I have a kitchen aid and it fucking sucks at making dough, so I figured I have to be doing something wrong.

God fucking fuck fuck
Wth is wrong with my mixer.
no idea
maybe it is recipe?
maybe oven?

no idea personally, I just watch the lady bake...I can ask questions
She has the same mixer @Splinty and BeardOfKnowledge @ConorMcGregorsBeard posted...Red Kitchen-aid from costco

her artisan didn't turn out great because she covered the rising dough and it couldn't breath or something...so was a bit dense..other than that the baked goods are turning out great

Yep, I use the hook the hole time. It takes a few minutes for it to start to come together. I push the flour in from the sides at first. After a few minutes, it starts to knead well. It takes about 8-10 minutes. We use the hell out of our mixer. It might be cheaper to just replace ours if I need to replace a bunch of gears. Looks like a real pita too. When the mixer works, it’s awesome.

What's that mean?
Mixing flour with liquids activates the gluten proteins that give baked goods their structure.Over-mixing, therefore, can lead to cookies, cakes, muffins, pancakes, andbreads that are tough, gummy, or unpleasantly chewy

Breakfast is my favourite meal, I’ll often eat breakfast foods for lunch or supper.

I'm not drinking heavily. I just keep hibernating like a bear. Shit I bet I'm on less than 10 beers per 24 hrs.

Gonna have some tuna in the morning then go into the wasteland and see what's what. I think a lot of food places have opened back up
