Love homemade bread, but don't love the kneading? No matter how you do your dough, getting that perfectly smooth and stretchy consistency is hard work – and the perfect task for stand mixers.
Gentle yet firm kneading achieves the right consistency for homemade breads or pizza dough. Or you can try your hand at a deliciously tangy loaf of sourdough.
Discover our best stand mixers for bread dough – for beautiful loaves that almost bake themselves.
Flour, water, yeast – just a few ingredients go into making so many different breads. But combining them into the perfect dough can be tricky: underknead and your loaves won't rise. Overknead and they might be crumbly inside.
Make dough in a stand mixer and delicious baking becomes deliciously simple. Hands-free kneading gives you time to focus on the moment – or everything else that's happening in your kitchen.
Professional home bakers: Look for a heavy-duty stand mixer like our Series 8 OptiMUM or Series 6 . It delivers enough power to knead your daily bread and more.
Occasional bakers: Go with a medium-duty model like Series 4 MUM 5 for some heavy doughs as well as lighter pastry doughs.
Top features to look for.
Weigh your ingredients directly in the bowl with our integrated scale. Then let 3D Planetary Mixing take over and imitate the natural kneading motion of your hands. Sensor-driven automatic programs can detect when your dough is ready – all the innovations you need for beautiful breads.
Bosch stand mixers have all the tools you need to knead. First, all models come with a kneading hook. Our large-capacity bowls give you plenty of room for bread dough – look for the kilogram capacity when purchasing.
Grind your own flour too.
For the ultimate bread, our grinding mill attachment lets you go from grain to loaf. Enjoy a deliciously wholesome taste and unlock more vitamins and nutrients thanks to freshly milled flour.
Delicious pizza dough: discover your perfect slice.
Switching to homemade pizza lets you cut down on packaging waste and energy consumption. And you're free to experiment until you find your perfect crust – deep dish, thin and everything in between. Say goodbye to frozen pizza for good!
All our Bosch models can be used to make dough for your favourite pizzas.
Pro tip: With the right attachments, our stand mixers can also dice tomatoes, chop onions, blend sauce and grate cheese, for deliciously rich homemade pizza.
Airy textures, elaborate crust, rich flavour. For many, sourdough is an art form that relies on the age-old process of fermentation. Live yeast and bacteria cultures work to give the bread its mouth-watering texture and flavour. The next most important ingredient: plenty of patience.
Sourdough also needs thorough kneading – again, the perfect task for powerful Bosch stand mixers.
Pro tip: All Bosch models come with 3D Planetary Mixing, which imitates the natural kneading motions of your hands.
No matter your baking skills, there's a best-fit Bosch stand mixer for everyone. Material, attachments, bowl capacity and more, our helpful buying guide shows at a glance what to keep in mind when choosing a stand mixer.
