Plan a bake with this mixer

3.9 L, 900/1000 W depending on variant, seven speeds. Bosch publishes 1.7 kg bread dough and 1.9 kg lighter yeast dough. Keep both numbers: the 1.9 kg figure is the wrong one for pizza. Head flex on stiff dough is common. Routine ceiling here: 1.5 kg.

Pros

  • Bosch splits bread dough from lighter yeast dough. That split is useful.
  • Common in European kitchens.
  • The 1.7 kg bread rating is more reliable than converting the bowl volume.

Cons

  • Stiff ~50% dough makes the head flex. Owners disagree whether that is 'normal'.
  • Hook-mount wear shows up after repeated large bread batches.

How the calculator uses this mixer

  • Water temperature. Its friction factor is 12. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 14°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
  • Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 1.7 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 1.2 kg.

Formulas this mixer handles

The largest single batch for each formula at its own hydration. The limit is the same one the calculator checks your batch against.
