No the KitchenAid food processor is too fine and fast to get the proper knead for bread type dough.Hands are the best tool for this but if you must use equipment try a bread machine. You do not have to use the baking step just use it to knead for you. Enjoy your bread.
The bestthing for kneading dough is You. It’s not that hard just do it. Get a KitchenAid food processor
well the KFP750OB comes with what they call a dough blade, and on their site it says you can knead yeast dough with it. I couldn’t find a jpg of this dough blade tho, I would hope it looks similar to the dough hook that they have with their stand mixer.
Why aren’t you happy with their stand mixer? it’s what I have.
maybe it’s your dough recipe.
when i worked in restaurants we had GIGANTIC floor mixers to mix pizza dough. I would always let the dough rise up twice and then rest for a few hours before using. I do the same at home with my stand mixer. it’s all i really make with mine, and it’s strong enough to use for the massive amts i make at times.
in the restaurant(s) i’d let the dough mixer go for about 11-19 min. at home with my stand mixer I do it for 9.
I only use a plastic bowl to have my dough rise. In the restaurant(s) I would use very clean bus pans reserved only for the dough. I would either line the bus pan with a bit of olive oil or even a clean garbage bag, and then top with a garbage bag while it rose. at home I do the same, but of course with a smaller garbage bag, plastic of course. maybe it’s the plastic container, but it seems to work for me. punching it down twice is written in stone for me, as well as keeping it in the kitchen with the heat and away from drafts and windows.
the only time i use a hand mixer is when i need to whip up egg whites and simple things like mashed potatoes.
try putting some ground fennel in your pizza dough.
my pizza dough recipe has whole milk, butter, salt, sugar, eggs and of course yeast. it yields itself towards making thin, thick, pan dough for pizza as well as making buns, french bread, bread sticks and of course elephant ears (scraps fried and topped with cinnamon sugar)
i’d be interested in learning how that dough blade works tho. email me and let me know
