Some doughs don't catch on my KitchenAid Pro Line 7Qt
I recently purchased a KitchenAid Pro Line 7 Qt mixer, and I've done the dime-calibration to make sure it's not off.
While this mixer seems to work great for my bao recipe (from Modernist Bread), it seems to fail for certain doughs like my lean french bread and my pizza dough (same book). The spiral hook just spins and shreds through the dough, rather than having the dough catch onto it to knead.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there just not enough dough? Am I using the wrong speed? Are these machines known to fail for certain doughs? If my explanation is awful I can take some videos.
