Bosch Compact Mixer Demonstration. Prefect Whole Wheat Bread And Pizza Master Class

[@KeatShadows]

Hi Robert, I recently purchased the compact Bosch mixer. I watched this clip a few times and followed your recipe. I ended up with two large loaves using 100% Whole Wheat Flour. The bread turned out to be perfect. In the past, I had tried to make 100% Whole Wheat Bread, every loaf was dense and heavy,,,,almost brick-like. By using the Bosch Mixer and your recipe and directions, the bread is light and delicious. You have a winner when it comes to the Bosch Mixer. Thanks for your help. By the way I had a question about the letter T in the recipe. I phoned and a nice lady named Joy ask if it was a capital T or a small t. I told her it was a capital T. She said that means a Tablespoon and the small t means a teaspoon,,,lol. I explained that I am 73 and just now learning to cook my own meals. I also told her I was watching Robert's You Tube clip to learn to use my compact mixer. She said,,,"Well good, because Bob owns this store." Thanks Bob and Joy.

Also, in regard to a soft crust. I like to spray water onto the HOT loaf just out of the oven, it will make the softest crust ever after having absorbed the water. Bob

[@bobhair7727]

That is a great idea. I have done that many times, the only warning is that if you leave it in the plastic bag it does mold faster,. I'm sure you have found that too. The 30 min idea is perfect.

Hi I’m finally a Bosch Compact Mixer Owner... thank you for all your awesome demonstrations

[@boschkitchencenter]

I hope it's helpful. Thank you for the kind words. Bob

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Congratulations!!! There's an online group for mixer owners, groups.io/g/Mixer-Owners , that has MANY Bosch mixer owners (most of them for years--I'm a relative newbie with only eight under my belt) and we love to offer support and tips, including recipe tweaks. New members are always welcome--it's a nice environment for extra nurturing if you're new to and unfamiliar with stand mixers like Bosches. :)

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

I love that mine has a stainless bowl and a 600W motor. It was a shock though to find out that expensive KitchenAid machines has less motor power than my little Bosch... Who would have thought that... 😳

[@stayathomecutee1171]

LottaTroublemaker yes I have both as well I’m so happy I purchased a Bosch Compact Mixer 😍

[@sunrabbit1]

Bob, I didn't have a food-grade spray bottle handy, so I tried another tip that works well. I put the hot bread loaves directly into bags and left them for 30 minutes or so. This steams the crust. I then took them out and let them cool the rest of the way. I think it achieved the same effect, because the crust was amazingly soft!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

You can also wet a kitchen towel and wrap the bread in that for a while...

[@julieholmes4364]

Thanks Bob just got the mixer and needed to see how to use it with the attatchments. You really helped.

[@josephdaniele556]

4:42 Bob took charge and slapped that baby down. We're sending this man our MUM-5, will check back w/ how he does.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I have the somewhat older MUM4750 and LOVE it. I recommend the Compact to everyone I know whose needs would be exceeded by a Universal Plus.

[@kamilastraker5511]

Hi Bob. Great video and funny too! I own the Bosch MUM 4400 UC. It's old, I bought it 2nd hand and it still works like a charm.Do you happen to know what the difference is between the 4400 and the 4405? thank you. I'm aspiring to make bread like you did in the video.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I think the reason there's a guard for the dough hook is because of creeping dough. I've seen other mixers making dough and if there's a hook, the dough inevitably creeps upwards, at least for a while.

[@boschkitchencenter]

How embarrassing! I am sorry for the misspelled words. So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@patriciahb9365]

Just purchased this little compact. I have an older and much larger Bosch in the garage but no longer need to make 6 loaves of bread. I'm wondering what size bread pans are best for two whole wheat loaves made in the Bosch compact. Also, is one rise still appropriate for the compact? Thanks for the video.

[@boschkitchencenter]

www.mykitchencenter.com/shop/c/p/USA-Pan-125-Pound-Loaf-Pan-x53863162.htm I LOVE these USA pans. This 1.25lb size is perfect for the compact.

[@concepcionavilamejia5667]

¿ es para más capacidad que la Kitchenaid?

[@rskcak1]

Bob Can you demonstrate how to insert the dough hook or the cookie mixer into the head of the unit. Each seems to fall out when I've tried and I am wondering what I am doing incorrectly. Thanks.

[@kimgleadall903]

Hi I love my compact mixer, and want to get the accessories like the food processor and the blender and accessories holder, can I still get them? I'm Kim in Australia.👍🏽

[@boschkitchencenter]

Absolutely Kim. Go to www.mykitchencenter.com/Results.cfm?category=30 Or call us at 801-562-1212 You can email me at [e-mail]. Bob

[@boschkitchencenter]

Do you make bread without salt? Do you have a suggestion, we'd love to hear it. We use "real salt" not chemically produced table salt.

[@89hats]

I just watched your video on the Bosch Compact mini mixer and your demonstration on how to make whole wheat bread. I noticed that you did not add honey or sweetener. Is there a noticeable difference in taste? The compact mine looks amazing!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

I'm not Robert, but I will tell you, there is NO need for sweetener in bread! Actually, I think it is a lot better without, plus it is better for you! I am not used to it though, no traditional Norwegian bread has sweetener. The only exception for me, is with some dark, whole grain breads, then it may be delicious to add some dark syrup for that special caramelized flavor. I bet molasses would be nice in such dark breads too, never tried though, molasses is not that common here, I just started using it for some things after finding it in a health food store...

[@photofox7491]

Hallo, there is a recipe for the bread?

[@MrDisneyCollector]

Love that Bob!! I'm curious mentioning the way the dough hook moves to the sides and the bottom, does the larger version mixer do the same? I'm torn on which to get, thinking the larger would be better, but for one person, this side might be perfect. I've seen videos where they have to hold these little monsters down as the move all over the counter kneading dough.

[@sunrabbit1]

I got my Bosch Compact for Christmas and I am loving it! But I wonder, is there a cookbook out there with recipes designed specifically for this size? I am on the hunt for awesome whole grain recipes for the following: french bread, seed bread, sandwich/burger buns. Any advice?

[@boschkitchencenter]

I use the Norpro 8" loaf pans in this demo. I really like these pans. I have found that when you use whole grain- with freshly milled flour, the smaller size loaf pan is more advantages. I get a higher rise. It seems to rise more quickly as well. Thank you for watching our demo. If you go to mykitchencenter and click on bread making supplies you can find these pans.

[@gtibruce]

Hi, if one was to use a bread mix using say 380 to 400 grams of flour being a smaller amont will it still mix it and clean the bowl . Only some one on Amazon says it cant do small mixes?

[@maryannedeering1663]

Awesome!!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

You don't need one. Use any recipe you like; if you think it'll make more dough than the machine can handle, just halve it. Another owner was nice enough to photocopy some recipes that Bosch used to include with all their mixers; the booklet has opposing recipes with Universal versions on one side and the Compact equivalents opposite them. Cute, but not necessary for recipes in general. BTW, if you want to make proper French bread, you're going to need tiles (or a stone) and steam.

[@210craig1]

Bob, Thanks for the wonderful video. I have a question? I no longer use wheat type flours but strictly bake with almond & coconut flours along with oat fiber and I know most if not all of your recipes work with wheat/gluten. How can I incorporate this into making my meals the trim healthy mama way with this. I do not make large amounts of anything and mostly cook/mix as needed. Can I get extra bowls? I have a big Kitchen-aid and it is heavy and cumbersome...need something easier. I am very concerned about buying more appliances that do not fit my needs. Costco had one for awhile but no longer do so.

[@boschkitchencenter]

+Brenda Craig Brenda, I hadn't seen this question until now. I apologize for the delay in this response. My wife is gluten free now for 5 years. There are many books available that are gluten free (www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Budget-Chandice-Probst-Besendorfer/dp/1462116086/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=ATKB4IG04OED5) and this compact mixer does a beautiful job in incorporating the ingredients in these recipes as well as wheat recipes.

[@57guz]

You forgot the pineapple for completing your masterpiece

[@donnacrimmins789]

The recipe on the screen doesn't show how much flour or wheat gluten. Is it one tablespoon of yeast, dough enhancer, and salt? Is this recipe anywhere in print?

[@boschkitchencenter]

Yes it is 1 tablespoon of yeast, vital wheat gluten and salt. The recipe is on our website: www.mykitchencenter.com/shop/c/p/Whole-Wheat-Bread-x61297478.htm This can be adjusted. For three compact Bosch, I cut it in half.

[@sunrabbit1]

What type of loaf pans are you using in this video? What do you recommend for whole wheat sandwich loaves? I like a light, soft crust and I can't decide what type of loaf pan to buy!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Have you considered a pullman pan?

[@Pmwalls46]

@@HotVoodooWitch Lol !! I have one of those too !! It’s by USA Pan. I haven’t used it yet though.

[@w.g.7211]

Can anyone confirm if this mixer still on the market or discontinued ?

[@boschkitchencenter]

Bosch HAS discontinued this amazing mixer. Their replacement is the MUM2 series. The importer has not confirmed that they will have a 110 volt US model made. They are saying the landed cost will be too high to be marketed in the US at a reasonable price. Be aware that the new machine (MUM2 series) offered on websites from Europe, are all 220 volt models. We do have several MUM4405UC models in stock as of February 26th 2023. www.mykitchencenter.com/shop/Small-Appliances/Essential-Appliances/Stand-Mixers/Bosch-Compact-Mixers.htm We also repair them and stock the parts and accessories: www.mykitchencenter.com/shop/Small-Appliances/Small-Appliance-Replacement-Parts/Stand-Mixer-Replacement-Parts/Bosch-Replacement-Parts/Bosch-Compact-Replacement-Parts.htm Thank you for watching our video.

@@boschkitchencenter thank you for the reply.

[@gracehill7204]

Could you please give a demo making chocolate chip cookies in the compact Bosch?

[@HotVoodooWitch]

A demo would be nice but you don't really need one. You can use the cookie paddle or, if your dough is super-stiff (e.g. if you add oatmeal), you can use the dough hook after creaming the fat and sugar with the cookie paddle. The dough hook is really handy--I use it for blending thick things like spinach dip (that are a PITA to do by hand), and you can also use it for things like meatloaf. Let your imagination guide you; just make sure that you don't go above speed 2 for thick stuff.

[@geminil2415]

I notice these comments are some yrs old.Is it still obtainable or has it been replaced by another model, and what size is the bowl?

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I know the video you mean. That was some idiot who never bothered to RTFM (if you will). Just about any non-commercial mixer, including the Ankarsrum and the Bosch Universal Plus, will walk on the counter if there's too much flour and not enough liquid (i.e. the dough is too stiff). The correct ratio will give you great bread AND keep the mixer where it belongs.
