Best mixers for pizza dough

In its favour

• The 7 L EasyWarm bowl proves dough, and Kenwood states it saves a third of the time.
• Built-in EasyWeigh scales let you weigh flour and water straight into the bowl.
• A 1,400 W motor and a second 5 L bowl give room for big and small batches.

Good to know

• It is the most complex mixer here, with a touch screen and presets you may not need.
• The listing does not state how much dough it can knead in one go.

In its favour

• Kenwood supplies a spiral dough tool, a shape aimed at kneading rather than just stirring.
• Nesting 7 L and 5 L stainless bowls cover both party batches and a couple of pizzas.
• EasyWeigh scales weigh straight into the bowl, which cuts down on mess when baking.

Good to know

• The listing does not state a dough capacity per batch.
• Kenwood lists over 25 optional accessories, but none beyond the bowl tools are included.

In its favour

• Bosch states up to 1.7 kg of yeast dough per batch, enough for several pizza bases.
• 3D planetary mixing works the dough hook around the whole bowl.
• It comes with a meat mincer, blender, citrus press and shredder as well as the baking tools.

Good to know

• The 3.8 L bowl is the smallest here, so large party batches need two runs.
• The listing gives both 700 W and 900 W, so the true motor rating is unclear.

In its favour

• The 1,800 W motor is aimed at large batches of dense dough, according to the listing.
• A 6.5 L stainless bowl gives room for double batches in one mix.
• A built-in digital timer lets you set the knead time and walk away.

Good to know

• Lakeland lists a 1-year guarantee, shorter than the KitchenAid and Kenwood terms in this guide.
• The listing gives no dough capacity in kilograms.

In its favour

• At 2,000 W it has the highest stated motor power in this guide.
• Overheat protection is listed, which helps with long kneads of stiff dough.
• A splash guard and dishwasher-safe attachments keep clean-up simple.

Good to know

• The listing does not name the attachments, so confirm a dough hook is in the box.
• No dough capacity per batch is stated in the listing.

In its favour

• KitchenAid states a five year full warranty covering parts and labour.
• The die-cast metal build is listed as made from tough materials for long life.
• A large range of optional attachments plugs into the front hub.

Good to know

• At 300 W it has the lowest stated motor power in this guide for stiff pizza dough.
• The 4.8 L bowl is smaller than the Kenwood, Lakeland and Karaca bowls.

In its favour

• Kenwood names heavy bread and pizza dough as jobs the 1,000 W motor handles.
• Gentle start and variable speed help stop flour clouding out of the bowl.
• A splash guard with a pouring chute lets you add water while it runs.

Good to know

• There are no scales or timer, unlike the Titanium Chef models.
• The specs list 240 W and 50 V, which clash with the 1,000 W in the bullets.
