Question for 5 qt KitchenAid users...
I've owned a 4.5 qt Kitchanaid and then upgraded to a 6 qt. When I write out my recipes, out of habit I do it for the full amount my 6 qt can handle, which is using 2 lbs of flour to create about 3.4-3.5 lbs of dough. The 4.5 qt Kitchenaid could handle about 1.5 lbs of flour (2.25 lbs of dough, if my math is right).
How much dough can a 5 qt Kitchenaid do without straining? It would be useful to me to know this if I follow through with some future recipe writing plans.
Thanks in advance.
