Kenwood kMix dough capacity and hydration
The Kenwood kMix is a 5 L tilt-head planetary mixer with a removable bowl, a beater, whisk and dough hook. Its folding setting turns the tool slowly in short bursts; it is not reverse kneading. Electronic speed sensing adjusts the drive under changing loads. For legacy KMX50 Series models, the manual gives bread limits in flour weight: 1.35 kg for stiff dough and 1.3 kg for soft dough. For legacy KMX50 Series models: For bread, start at minimum speed and increase only to setting 1. Kneading should take no more than five minutes, followed by a 20-minute rest between loads.
Also known as: kMix, KMX50 Series, KMX51, KMX52.
