kitchenaid attachment dough

A pasta roller-and-cutter set is used to turn dough into fresh pasta on a KitchenAid stand mixer. The roller flattens sheets of dough to multiple thickness settings, and the cutters slice those sheets into shapes such as spaghetti and fettuccine. These are commonly sold as a 3-piece roller-and-cutter set for KitchenAid household stand mixers.

KitchenAid bread-related attachments include a 5-quart ceramic bread bowl with lid, which is designed for mixing, kneading, proofing and baking small loaves, and beater/pastry-style attachments (such as flex-edge or pastry beaters) that help cut fat into dough and incorporate ingredients. The bowl handles bulk dough tasks while the beaters are used with the mixer to blend and cut ingredients into dough.

Scraper-style blades and flex-edge beaters reduce the need to stop and manually scrape the bowl. Their flexible edges continuously scrape the sides of the bowl and help bring ingredients into the mix, cutting down interruptions during mixing.

Pasta rollers have multiple thickness settings (commonly up to eight) so you can roll dough sheets from thick to thin. Separate cutters attach to the roller to slice those sheets into noodles such as spaghetti or fettuccine.

The ceramic bread bowl has a 5-quart capacity and is described as handling bread dough recipes using up to about 3.5 cups of flour, which yields roughly a 1 to 1.5 lb. loaf.

A typical pasta roller-and-cutter set includes the pasta roller plus spaghetti and fettuccine cutters. Sets commonly ship with a small cleaning brush and an instruction manual.
