| I used to use my Kitchenaid to make dough but always had a problem with it climbing up the hook. After I got the bread machine, I could kill two birds cause it also lets it rise and punches it down, eliminating one step. Isi, have you ever used your food processor to make homemade pasta dough? It only takes a few minutes. I was on a fresh pasta kick two summers ago and was making it several times a week and giving it away to the family and neighbors. I'd gotten two new rollers (angel hair and fetuccini) and was going nuts making the stuff. I went in one afternoon to pick up some CDs from the library and brought one of the librarians some. We'd been talking about it and her hubby is Italian and says he misses his mom making it for him. Has anyone ever made pie crust dough in a food processor? I've always wanted to try it but never have. Oops. Sorry, I just realized I should have put this in the 'Kitchen Gear' Forum. I'm still trying to get the hang of what-goes-where here.
