coffee cakes buns
MIXING TIME
Your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most
other electric Stand Mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most traditional
and non-packaged recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With cakes,
for example, beating time may be half as long as with other Stand Mixers.
11 11
TILT-HEAD STAND MIXER USE
NOTE: Do not scrape the bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl and
beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping.
Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient. Turn the
unit off before scraping. The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy
loads with extended mixing time, you may not be able to comfortably touch the
top of the unit. This is normal.
CARE AND CLEANING
Bowl, white flat beater and white dough hook may be washed in an automatic
dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely
before drying. Wire whip should be hand washed and dried immediately. Do not
wash the wire whip in a dishwasher. Do not store the beaters on the shaft.
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug the Stand Mixer before cleaning. Wipe the Stand
Mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household or commercial cleaners. Do
not immerse in water. Wipe off the beater shaft frequently, removing any
residue that may accumulate.
12 12
BEATER TO BOWL CLEARANCE
Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so the flat beater just clears the
bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the
bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can correct the clearance easily.
1. Turn speed control to OFF.
2. Unplug stand mixer or
disconnect power.
3. Tilt motor head back.
4. Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counter
clockwise (left) to raise the flat
beater or clockwise (right) to
lower the flat beater.
5. Make adjustment so that the flat
beater just clears the surface of
the bowl. If you over adjust the
screw, you may not be able to lock
the motor head when it is lowered.
A
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike the bottom or side of the bowl. If the flat beater or the wire whip is adjusted so that it strikes the bowl, the coating may wear off the beater, or the wires on the whip may wear.

MIXING TIPS
Converting Your Recipe for the Mixer
The mixing instructions for recipes in this book can guide you in converting
your own favorite recipes for preparation with your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer.
Look for recipes similar to yours and then adapt your recipes to use the
procedures in the similar KitchenAid recipes.
For example, the “quick mix” method (sometimes referred to as the “dump”
method) is ideal for simple cakes, such as the Quick Yellow Cake and Easy
White Cake included in this book. This method calls for combining dry
ingredients with most or all liquid ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes, such as tortes, should be prepared using the traditional
cake mixing method. With this method, sugar and the shortening, butter, or
margarine are thoroughly mixed (creamed) before other ingredients are added.
For all cakes, mixing times may change because your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer
works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with the
KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will take about half the time called for in most
traditional and non-packaged cake recipes.
To help determine the ideal mixing time, observe the batter or dough and mix
only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as
“smooth and creamy.”
To select the best mixing speeds, use the Speed Control Guide on page 14.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into
the moving beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to simplify adding
ingredients.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the
beater is not far enough into the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl Clearance” on page
13.
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed, Speed 4 for
medium speed, and Speed 6 for high speed. For best results, mix for the time
stated on the package directions.
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines on including these ingredients. In
general, solid materials should be folded in the last few seconds of mixing on
Stir Speed. The batter should be thick enough to prevent the fruit or nuts
from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be
dusted with flour for better distribution in the batter.
Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at
lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase mixer speed only after the mixture
has thickened.
15 15
EGG WHITES
Place room temperature egg whites in a clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and wire
whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to the
desired stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT
SPEED
1 egg white …GRADUALLY to 10 2-4 egg whites…GRADUALLY to 8 6+ egg whites…GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
With your KitchenAid® mixer, egg whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully to
avoid overwhipping. This list tells you what to expect.
Frothy Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to Hold Shape Air bubbles are fine and compact; product is white.
Soft Peak Tips of peaks fall over when wire whip is removed.
Almost Stiff Sharp peaks form when wire whip is removed, but whites are
actually soft.
Stiff but not Dry Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip is removed. Whites
are uniform in color and glisten.
Stiff and Dry Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip is removed. Whites are
speckled and dull in appearance.
WHIPPED CREAM
Pour cold whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To
avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to the desired
stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT
SPEED
1/4 cup …………GRADUALLY to 10 1/2 cup …………GRADUALLY to 10 1 cup …………GRADUALLY to 8 1 pint …………GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
Watch the cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid® mixer whips
so quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages. Look for
these characteristics:
Begins to Thicken Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds Its Shape Cream forms soft peaks when wire whip is removed. Can be
folded into other ingredients when making desserts and sauces.
Stiff Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when wire whip is removed. Use for
topping on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream puffs.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING AND KNEADING YEAST DOUGH WITH THE RAPID MIX METHOD
“Rapid Mix” describes a bread baking method that calls for dry yeast to be mixed with other dry ingredients before liquid is added. In contrast, the traditional method is to dissolve yeast in warm water.
1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast
into the bowl, except the last 1 to 2 cups of flour.
2. Attach the bowl and dough hook.
Lock the mixer head. Turn to Speed 2
and mix about 15 seconds, or until
the ingredients are combined.
A
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add
the liquid ingredients to the flour
mixture and mix 1 to 2 minutes
longer. See A.
NOTE: If the liquid ingredients are added
too quickly, they will form a pool around
the dough hook and slow down the
mixing process.
B
1. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add the
remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. See B. Mix until the dough clings the to
the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes.
2. When the dough clings to the hook,
knead on Speed 2 for 2 minutes, or
C
until the dough is smooth and elastic.
See C.
3. Unlock the motor head and tilt it back. Remove the dough from the
hook. Follow the directions in the recipe for rising, shaping, and baking.
When using the traditional method to prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve the yeast in warm water in a warmed bowl. Add the remaining liquids and dry ingredients, except last the 1 to 2 cups flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute, or until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed with Steps 4 through 6.
Both methods work equally well for bread preparation. However, the “Rapid Mix” method may be a bit faster and easier for new bread bakers. It is slightly more temperature tolerant because the yeast is mixed with dry ingredients, rather than with warm liquid.

BREAD MAKING TIPS
Making bread with a mixer is quite different from making bread by hand.
Therefore, it will take some practice before you are completely comfortable
with the new process. We recommend you start with an easy recipe, like Basic
White Bread, until you become accustomed to making bread the KitchenAid way.
The following tips will help: Tips for Mixing and Kneading
· ALWAYS use the dough hook to mix and knead yeast doughs. · NEVER exceed
Speed 2 when using the dough hook. · NEVER use recipes calling for more than 8
cups of all-purpose flour or
6 cups of whole wheat flour when making dough with a 41/2-quart tilt-head
mixer. · NEVER use recipes calling for more than 9 cups of all-purpose flour
or 6 cups of whole wheat flour when making dough with a 5-quart tilt-head
mixer. · Most bread recipes give a range for the amount of flour to use. When
the dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl, enough flour
has been added. If the dough is sticky or the humidity is high, slowly add
more flour (about 1/2 cup at a time), but NEVER exceed the recommended flour
capacity. Knead after each addition until the flour is completely worked into
the dough. If too much flour is added, a dry loaf will result. · Some types of
dough, especially those made with whole grain flours, may not form a ball on
the hook. However, as long as the hook comes in contact with the dough,
kneading will be accomplished. · Some large recipes and soft doughs may
occasionally climb over the collar of the hook. This usually indicates that
the dough is sticky and more flour should be added. The sooner all the flour
is added, the less likely the dough will climb the hook. For such recipes, try
starting with all but the last cup of flour in the initial mixing process.
Then add the remaining flour as quickly as possible. · Use a candy or other
kitchen thermometer to assure that liquids are at the temperature specified in
the recipe. Liquids at higher temperature can kill the yeast, while liquids at
lower temperatures will retard yeast growth. · Warm all ingredients to room
temperature to insure the proper rising of dough. If the yeast is to be
dissolved in the bowl, always warm the bowl first by rinsing with warm water
to prevent cooling of liquids.
?
BREAD MAKING TIPS
Tips for Shaping a Loaf
Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a
rectangle, approximately 9×14 inches. A rolling pin will smooth the dough and
remove gas bubbles.
Starting at a short end, roll the dough tightly. Pinch to seal the seam.
Pinch the ends and turn them under. Place the dough, seam side down, in a loaf
pan. Follow the directions in the recipe for rising and baking.
Tips for Successful Rising & Baking
· Allow the bread to rise in a warm place, 80°F to 85°F, free from drafts,
unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
· Always cover the bowl with a towel to retain warmth and protect the dough
from drafts. If desired, cover the bowl with waxed paper before covering it
with a towel.
· Here are some alternative rising methods to use: (1) The bowl containing the
dough can be placed on a wire rack over a pan of hot water. (2) The bowl can
be placed on the top rack of an unheated oven; put a pan of hot water on the
rack below. (3) Turn the oven to 400°F for 1 minute, then turn it off; place
the bowl on the center rack of the oven and close the door.
· Recipe rising times may vary due to the temperature and humidity of your
kitchen. If an indentation remains after pressing the tips of your fingers
lightly and quickly into the dough, it has doubled in bulk.
· When done, yeast breads and rolls will be deep golden brown in color.
Tapping on the top of the loaf should produce a hollow sound, and the bread
should pull away from the sides of the pan easily.
· Turn loaves and rolls onto racks immediately after baking to prevent
sogginess.
