Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this problem:
I have an 11-cup food processor for making bread dough and would like to use it to make small portions (ie 3 cups or less). However, when attempting to knead a small batch, I found that the blade does not catch all ingredients in the bowl, and does not mix properly.
Does anyone have the same problem, and/or know of a way to remedy this? Thanks!

For years I made all my bread in my DLC 7 Pro Cuisinart made in Japan and never had any problems. Some say that by using the steel blade cuts the gluten strands but I never seemed to have a problem only when I made raisin bread then I used the plastic blade.
I found that after a long time my base had a small crack in it, so thought I would change to a new one. the 11 cup, well every thing from my old F P fitted to new one so I wasn't gaining any size, also I found that part way through the mixing the motor cut out on me, well that's the last thing I wanted, didn't do that on the old one.
So I sent it back and went for the 14 cup, same thing, motor cut out on me, so it went back.
I still have have my old Pro 7, the crack is no worse, but I don't make bread in it any more, only pastry and stuff.
my bread I make in the DLX Assistant.
But to get back to your question, maybe your dough is a tad to dry to start with, hold back on a tad of flour until you are more or less finished mixing.But don't process too long. I always finish with a bit of hand kneading. qahtan
