I made bread and it was fine. How long do you kneed the dough in the mixer. I did it for 5 min, but someone said you have to cut it by half and the bread had a really yeasty taste to it. Don't know why???

Yeasty taste can be from
-sweetening with honey or other high-fructose sweetener
-too much sweetener in the batter
-proofing or raising too long for the ambient temperature
-not enough salt
Personally I like the chewy texture that comes from long (hand) kneading, but it's all a matter of preference. The more you bake, the more you'll figure out what you like.
Used my mixer to make cookies and pasta dough for ravioli this weekend. Both came out deee-licious!:D
I don't think I would ever shell out the cash to get one, but if someone were to give one to me, for my birthday, say...well then I'm sure I would use it regularly! And I have plenty of storage space in my new kitchen.
Just sayin'.
