Joydeem Dough Maker

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.

This machine is a miracle! You can keep your expensive Bosh, Nutrimills and Ankarsrums, this machine does it all and even proofs your dough for you, all under $125, effortlessly. Speaking of dump ingredients and go, this is it. LIterally dumped everything in and walked off, returned an hour and a half later to doubled in size dough if not tripled, not over proofed either. From start to finish in just under 2 hrs. Baked up the most gorgeous rolls this morning for tomorrow's Christmas dinner. Joydeem, you nailed it. Will try to do a follow up in a year. You won't be disappointed in this one!

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

First, a little history: I previously owned the Bear HMJ-A70C1 which is labeled as 7L while this Joydeem is labeled 6.6qt. Except for some new open/close stickers on the lid, the units appear 100% identical and all the parts cross-swap. I think someone just did a unit conversion backwards because 6.6*L* does equal 7*qt*. Probably the size of this unit is 7L = 7.4qt. Pros: This thing is definitely designed to make dough in bulk very well. I used to have a bread machine that I used for dough but 30% of the time I would come back to find it hadn't mixed. That never happens with this unit. I regularly make pizza for 6-8 people (i.e. two large pizzas) and that's a single batch of dough in this machine and I'm not even using the full capacity. I'm pretty sure I've put four pizza doughs through here at once just fine. I also love the simple but effective processing options. You can control mix time and ferment time separately or turn one off. I usually mix and do a short ferment the night before and then throw the entire bowl in the fridge. Mid-day I pull it back out and do a short mix and a long ferment. This is just a few button presses. Cons: The first one died after just 3.5 years. The paddle axle just fell right out. Drilled the base out of the bowl to inspect why and it turns out the bearing had cracked, rusted and disintegrated. You can see the corrosion and the little metal parts of the inside race of the bearing. The axle was just turning inside the bearing which any car mechanic will tell you will only last so long. I think fundamentally what's going on is that the axle needs more support. The paddle has a lot of torque and is a shaking fit on the axle. That's making the axle bang into the bearing and eventually crack it. Once cracked it's only a matter of time. Making the base of the bowl thicker or adding some other radial support to the axle would solve this issue. [BTW, these photos look all dirty and there's little metal bits. None of that got to the inside of the food bowl. The seal worked well.]

This IS the dough mixer you were looking for! Once upon a time, I mixed my own dough. Then I used bread makers. But - I need more than one loaf of bread. Also, we personally do not like the shape of the loaves when they bake in the breadmaker loaf pans, so I was in the habit of removing the dough and shaping it into my own bread pans anyway. When my third bread maker burned out in four years, I decided that I was DONE with bread makers. I started looking for dough mixers. Now there's a rabbit hole you can go down. My goodness. I fully admit that this purchase was a leap of faith that I really had think about. It's expensive. No one I know is using one, or has one, or tried one. They are happy with their breadmakers and their occasional loaves. My family eats toast in the morning. They often take sandwiches for lunch. We like to have breakfast for supper. We eat bread with our soups. So, I had to consider the math. The amount I'd spent on breadmakers that I'd burned out. The amount of bread we eat plus the cost of bread vs the cost of making my own bread. At time of writing, I've been using this once a week for almost four months. It's quieter than a breadmaker (at least all the ones I've used). I typically am using 6 to 9 cups of flour at a time for bread dough - the mixer is rated for up to 12 cups of flour - and it would handle mixing that NO Problem. At time of writing, if I had been buying commercially prepared bread, I would have spent almost the same amount as the purchase price of the mixer - so every loaf after this weekend gets cheaper for me to make. Or as cheap as it can be if the power bill didn't keep going up. This is a great mixer. It's a good design, the gears appear to be metal, the bowl is stainless steel, the dough hook is a heavy piece of steel, it cleans up well, it's not too heavy for me to move around and the first rise happens right in the mixer bowl itself. Like all appliances, you have to "tweak" your recipes a little, so be prepared for that. I do not regret this purchase, in fact, I wish I'd thought of it sooner. Happy Baking :) My only quibble is that the power cord is quite short - it hasn't been issue for me, just more of puzzling thing. Why is it so short?

Not meant for UK market, therefore cannot write a honest review

Es realmente una herramienta extraordinaria en el proceso de la panaderia. Facilita mucho obtener los resultados, pues la parte más pesada, que es amasar la ejecuta de una manera extraordinaria.. la capacidad es bastante buena hasta 3 kg, obtenemos 3 barras de pan en cada batch, como el de la fotografía. No acupa mucho espacio de almacenamiento, su peso es ligero y es necesario lavarla al terminar de usarla para facilitar su limpieza... Excelente producto. 10/10

Tengo una Batidora Smeg y solo le cabe a lo mucho 1 kg de harina, y a esta joya le caben hasta 2 kg. de harina mas hidratacion, aparte la funcion de fermentado, hace magia, literal, pones todos los ingredientes, programas y regresas por tu masa lista.

Used this a few times and love it. The dough comes out nice and soft and easy to work with.
