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.
Mixing the perfect bread dough.
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.
Suggested models: Go with a medium-duty model like Series 4 MUM 5 for some heavy doughs as well as lighter pastry doughs.
The right stand mixer for bread dough.
- Power
- Bowl size
- High-quality material
By asking yourself a few basic questions, it's easy to find the perfect Bosch stand mixer for your home bakery.
- Baking heavier doughs? Look for a model with more power, measured in watts.
- Making larger batches? Choose a model with a large-capacity bowl.
- Buying for longevity? Choose a stand mixer with high-quality metal tools.
Pro tip: No more flour storms – all models come with a special lid to keep your kitchen flour-free while kneading and mixing.

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.
An artisanal favourite: sourdough.
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 PlanetaryMixing, which imitates the natural kneading motions of your hands.
