Electric Dough Maker with Ferment Function, Microcomputer Timing, Face-up Touch Panel, 7.4Qt, 304 Stainless Steel, JD-HMJ7L

I started baking my own whole grain bread 17 years ago with freshly ground flour that I milled with my new flour mill. My first attempt at bread making was a disaster. It was so bad that I had to throw it away. Even the birds would not eat it. However, through the years I have honed my skills into making the best tasting bread ever. I have learned through the stretches of time that bread making is both a science and a creative art. And, it is a skill that is learned by both trial and error. I began with a stone ground flour mill purchased at a health food store and my aunts old Kitchen Aid. The Kitchen Aid, however, was not built for mixing and kneading thick bread dough. The Kitchen Aid moaned and groaned when kneading the bread dough and I knew that it was on its last leg as I was overworking it by baking 2 loaves of bread approximately even 10 days. In 2020 I purchased a new Wondermill Flour Mill and soon after an Aucuma Stand Mixer from Amazon. Both of these machines are amazing products and I still stand behind the quality of these two appliances. And, for a time I continued baking my favorite bread recipes - two loaves every ten days. However, I have slowed down considerably as I am now 87 years old. And, over the last few years my bread making came to a complete stand still. And, I found myself once again eating store bought bread. This bread not only lacked in taste, it also lacked the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that is only found in home baked bread made from freshly ground hard wheat berries. And, seniors especially need this kind of nutrition for optimal health. So, I began my research for an easier way to make the kind of homemade bread that I dearly loved. After watching a video on YouTube I became aquatinted with the Joydeem Dough Maker. This video demonstrated how much easier it would be to mix, knead and ferment bread dough. So, I took a chance bought it from Amazon. And, I was not disappointed. The Joydeem Dough Maker is more than an ordinary mixer. This technically advanced machine takes the bread dough through ALL of the stages of dough making to include precision intermittent mixing, perfectly timed kneading that closely simulates hand kneading as well as through a temperature controlled fermenting process. This advanced feature is due to the fact that the Joydeem Dough Maker has an internal heating element that keeps the dough at an optimal temperature so that you get the perfect rise of your dough every time. And, these added features have become a game changer for me. With my stand mixer I could only make 2 loaves of bread at a time. But, with my new Joydeem Dough Maker I can now make 4 loaves of bread at a time; this reduces the amount of time that I have to spend in the kitchen. And, the cleanups are easier and faster because there are less things that I need to wash. Because of these simplified and time-saving features I now find it so much easier to make my favorite whole grain bread recipes and I am once again enjoying the process of bread making. I highly recommend the Joydeem Dough Maker and give it five super big stars with happy faces. Hands down Joydeem Dough Maker is ten times better than an upright stand mixer and Amazon offers it at a reasonable price. Just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

The mixer is great! Easily handled making dough for 2 x 2 pound loaves of bread. 15 minute mix time and the ingredients were perfectly combined and kneaded, Great for making 60, 65, 70 percent hydration pizza dough. So much better that my Kitchen Aid mixer.Handles 2 Kilo's of flour at a time making 12 x 265 gram dough balls. Highly recommend it. One can buy 7 of these for the price of one popular spiral mixer. Does the job well.

Love it! I did have some misconceptions about the functions, but it’s a great dough mixer. The “ferment” function is not a specific temperature, it’s just a timer that you can set to leave the dough in the bowl. The mixing is only one speed, and is intermittent. It doesn’t mix constantly. Our dough always turns out great though and it’s nice to mix and rest in one bowl. It’s easy to clean and store. Very glad I bought this!

This is a lifesaver. Super easy to use.just put ingredients in set to mix for 15 min..then set on ferment. Which is raise. About 45 min it was doubled . Took it out ,put in pans let it rise. And baked. Perfect bread and no sore arms. I am 80 so this is wonderful. And it's easy to clean.

Great quality, can make 3-4 loaves of dough at one time. User friendly. Very stable, with grippy feet. Would give it 5 stars, but in fermentation mode, it gets a little too warm in one spot on bottom, and starts to bake the dough. Have found I can just skip that mode and let rise naturally.

I used to bake everything from 'scratch' with my Mom, and then my own breads, etc., until graduating from college and joining the rat race. But now that I'm retired and trying to be an even better steward of the resources God has blessed me with, I decided to stop buying things in the grocery store that I could make on my own, bread being one of those things. This Joydeem Electric Dough Maker arrived few days ago. Initially, my expectations were very low because the shipment packaging was thin, raveling and weak. I wasn't expecting much and wow, was I proved wrong. This Joydeem Electric Dough Maker is probably the best purchase I've ever made from Amazon. I decided to go with something hard, my favorite whole wheat bread with nuts and fruit. I can't knead like I used to because of my arthritic shoulders and wrists and this machine is a total game changer. This machine wonderfully mixed and kneaded all my ingredients and did a wonderful job with the proofing. No hard manual labor on my part. Everything worked as advertised. The only suggestion I have is that the manufacture needs to clarify in the instruction book that what it refers to as the "rest" key, is really the "ferment" button on the machine. I could not be more pleased. Lots of dough making ahead. Picture is from my loaf right out of the oven!! Thank you.

Could not be any easier to make beautiful loaves of bread! I used to hand knead my dough but as I get older I want more simplicity. This checks all the boxes, not only is the machine attractive but it is well made. It has weight to it. It has a lot of power , dough for one loaf is nothing, 2 loaves still mixes with ease. I have not tried it for 3 loaves yet but I am confident it will not be an issue. It mixes and ferments. There is also an option just for fermentation. Clean up is fairly easy, the bowl is stainless steel, not teflon , which is much better in my opinion. Can't wait to use it for the holidays coming up, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, gorgeous loaves of bread. There is nothing like homemade bread

I have been making bread for 30 years and sourdough for 4 years. I used a bread machine dough setting for all of these years so I have a basic understanding on how to use this machine. I have only used it once and it is a workhorse! Stainless tub and heavy duty mixing paddle does the job in less time than the bread machine. Here are my settings: 5 Minute Mix (Starter, Water, Flour) 30 Minute Autolyse Add Salt 10 Minute Mix 20 Minute Ferment 1 Minute Mix (aka "stretch n fold" IYKYK) 20 Minute Ferment 1 Minute Mix 1 Hour Ferment Done in mixer: Shape, place in banneton/batard, rest on counter 30 minutes and refrigerate until bake. Very pleased with this investment!
