I'm making some real bread. The original recipe (which is below the modified recipe) is to die for, but I had to modify it, because I didn't have the fresh yeast, wheat flour, or wheat bran. Plus I was doing it with one hand. Let's see how it turns out... My Modified Recipe: "Throwing Bricks" (cause that's probably how it'll turn out) 10g dry yeast 1 1/2 cup of warm water 3/8 cup of brown sugar (a little less than 1/2 cup) 6 1/2 cups of flour (I messed up the count...) 1/2 cup of wheat germ 1 1/2 tbsp margarine 1 1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs Preparation: - Dissolve yeast in warm water - Add the sugar, margarine, salt, egg, wheat germ and one (1) cup flour - Whisk the mixer for 3-5 minutes so that it's a smooth liquid - Add the rest of the flour and bran until the dough is smooth and doesn't stick - Grease an pan and place the dough (I cut it in two pieces) - Let it rise for 30-40 minutes or until double in volume. - Bake in moderate oven (240°C or 464°F) for 30-40 minutes. -- Some places I messed up... I used too much flour; I should have used the about a cup or so less and worked up to the non-sticky/smooth dough. I used one hand the whole way, damned camera! I didn't warm the oven slightly to let it rise (not hot, just a good temp to rise in). I didn't let it rise enough. Oven was too hot, so the dough couldn't cook all the way through before burning the bottom (my bad). I didn't have all the ingredients, so had to improvise. Other than that, it was fine ...

KitchenAid KSM150PSMC Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Metallic Chrome Overview
More is more sometimes, at least in the world of small appliances. KitchenAid has introduced a new member of the stand mixer family, known as the Artisan mixer. It has a tilting head, like the KSM90, but it has a larger 5 qt. capacity bowl. It also gives you more oomph, as in 325 watts of cookie dough busting power. What's not to love? If you've been considering a stand mixer, this may be the perfect "starter model" for you.
KitchenAid KSM150PSMC Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Metallic Chrome Specifications
KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim
From the Manufacturer
The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.
Unique Mixing Action
The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.
Multiple Speeds
10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.
Versatile Accessories
The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.
The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.
All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.
Easy Clean Up
The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.
The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.
Optional Attachments
Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.
