How to Mix Pasta in a Bread Maker

A bread machine can do all of the heavy kneading required to make pasta dough.

Hand mixing and kneading pasta dough can be an exhausting and messy affair; however, with a bread maker, you can leave all of the heavy work to the machine. Commercial bread makers are built to knead even the toughest flours and grains before baking the bread, and pasta dough is a relatively light dough for the machine to mix. Most bread makers even have a pasta dough setting. You can let the bread maker mix your dough while you make the pasta sauce.

Things You'll Need

• Bread maker
• Pasta dough ingredients

Instructions

1. Put the ingredients for your pasta dough into the bread maker.

2. Set the bread maker to the pasta dough setting and press start.

3. When the bread maker is finished, remove the pasta dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Roll the dough and cut it.
