# Best mixers for pizza dough Source: https://peelandflame.co.uk/best/best-pizza-dough-mixer Publisher: Peel and Flame. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://peelandflame.co.uk/how-we-pick Pizza dough is stiff and sticky, and kneading it by hand for ten minutes is a chore once you bake for more than two people. A stand mixer does the work, but not every mixer suits a big batch of pizza dough. Bowl size sets how many dough balls you can make in one go. Motor power and the shape of the dough tool decide how well it copes with a low-hydration dough without straining. Speeds matter less than a slow, steady kneading setting. This guide compares seven stand mixers by bowl size, motor watts, speeds, the dough tool supplied and any dough capacity the maker states, using only what each listing says. Only one listing gives a dough weight per batch, so for the rest the table says Not stated and you can judge by bowl size instead. ## Products ### 1.
