MIXING WITH THE QUAD
®
BLADE
The Quad blade mixes ingredients for cakes,
batters, and cookie doughs.
The Quad blade can also emulsify egg-based
sauces such as mayonnaise.
Always remember to place the spindle and
Quad blade into the processing bowl before
adding the food.
Butter cake and biscuit dough
Place softened, chopped butter and sugar
into the processing bowl. Process using the
START | PAUSE button until the mixture is
lightly creamed. With the motor running,
add eggs one at a time through the small
feed chute, mixing well after each egg is
added. Take lid off and add liquid and dry
ingredients to the mixture. Process using the
PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape
down sides of bowl as needed. Do not
over-process.
Add choc chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc
after the main mixture is done. Use the
PULSE button in very short bursts until
the additions are combined. Do not over-
process, as these larger ingredients will
break down quickly.
Quick-mix cakes and batters
Place all ingredients in the bowl, starting
with liquids, and being careful not to
exceed the MAX LIQUID level. Process
using the PULSE button until folded evenly.
Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
Do not over-process.
This method can also be used for melt ’n’
mix cakes, packet cake mixes and crepe
batters.
Pastry dough
Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the
processing bowl.
Do not process more than 3L cups (500g)
of flour using the START | PAUSE button in
intervals until the butter is absorbed into
the flour.
Steadily add liquid through the small feed
chute with the motor still running. Process
until the mixture forms a ball.
KNEADING WITH THE
DOUGH BLADE
Always remember to place the spindle
and dough blade into the processing bowl
before adding the food. The edges of the
plastic dough blade create a softer action for
combining dough ingredients.
The dough blade encourages the gluten
strands to be stretched rather than cut, and
should be used for all yeast doughs, and any
other doughs that require kneading.
Bread or pizza dough
Place flour and dry ingredients into the
processing bowl, including instant active
dry yeast.
Do not process more than 3 cups (450g)
of flour or using the START | PAUSE button
in intervals.
Steadily add liquid (including oil, if
applicable) through the small feed chute
with the motor still running. Process until
the mixture until it forms a soft, elastic
dough ball.
Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured
surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if
necessary until soft and pliable.
If processing more than two batches of
dough (450g each), allow the motor base
to cool for an extended period before
subsequent kneading to prevent the motor
from overloading.
Place dough into a large, greased mixing
bowl and cover. Stand in a warm place until
it has doubled in size. Turn the dough out
onto a lightly floured surface and knead
again until smooth and elastic. Shape the
dough then allow to rise in a warm area
before baking.
