Dough Kneading
Motor slows down. Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in two batches.
Dough may be too wet (see below ). If motor
speeds up, continue processing. If not, add
more our, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the
motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans
the sides of the work bowl.
Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients. Always start the food processor before add-
ing liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream
though the feed tube, allowing the dry in-
gredients to absorb the liquid as fast as they
can. If too much liquid is added, wait until in-
gredients in the work bowl are incorporated,
then add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn
off the machine). Pour liquid onto dough as it
passes under feed tube opening; do not pour
liquid directly onto bottom of the work bowl.
Blade rises in work bowl. Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to
rise. Carefully reinsert blade and immediately
add 2 tablespoons of our through the feed
tube while the machine is running.
Dough doesn’t clean inside of the work bowl. Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in two batches.
Dough may be too dry (see below).
Dough may be too wet (see below).
Lumps of dough forms on top of blade and
does not become uniformly kneaded.
Stop food processor, carefully remove dough,
divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them
evenly in the work bowl.
Dough feels tough after kneading. Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redis-
tribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or
until uniformly soft and pliable.
Dough is too dry. While food processor is running, add water, 1
tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans the
inside of the bowl.
Dough is too wet. While food processor is running, add flour, 1
tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans the
inside of the bowl.
