Bosch OptiMUM dough capacity and hydration
a maximum of 3.5 kg of dough
Bosch's premium 5.5 L 3D planetary publishes up to 3.5 kg of dough and 2.5 kg of flour for the platform. That is useful capacity data, but it is not a low-hydration allowance. Large stiff batches still need a safety margin.
- Bosch publishes a substantial dough and flour ceiling.
- The 3D planetary motion reaches more of the bowl than a simple circular orbit.
- Scale and sensor variants reduce separate measuring steps.
- No minimum dough load is published.
- The 3.5 kg ceiling does not certify traditional biga.
- Use the dough ceiling for ordinary bread dough. Reduce it for stiff preferments and stop if the machine begins to twist under load.
