Thank you! When I first got it, I didn't use it for over a month because I was too intimidated that I was going to break it. (I had heard stories of people burning out their motors trying to make bread doughs.) But once I finally got started using it, I used it a couple times a week. There have been periods where my interest wanes but overall, I'm really happy to have it.
I'm still not sure of myself when I'm making bread doughs but at least now, I can just turn on the mixer to knead it longer instead of fretting and continuing to knead by hand and wondering if I'm getting the dough into the right condition. I STILL can't get it to make those lovely elastic 'windowpanes' when I stretch the dough though. I'm still learning. But at least my back isn't as sore while I'm learning.
