I've found shower caps at beauty supply stores, too. They're packaged several in a bag and are really cheap. Just another option! I wonder if you can help with a problem I can't seem to solve. Our favorite bread lately is a whole wheat cinnamon raisin walnut bread, an old Betty Crocker recipe. I mix it in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. The last things you add are 1 cup of walnuts and 1 cup of raisins (I use cranberries instead). The problem is they don't distribute evenly at all, and a slice of finished bread is either loaded with them or doesn't contain hardly any. I've been patting out the kneaded dough on a breadboard and sprinkling them on, then kneading them in by hand. This helps a bit. Any other suggestions? How early in the mixing process can I add cranberries and nuts while mixing in my KA? Thanks for any help you can offer! I would put then in after the first cup or so of flour has gone in. Mary@ KAF Carol, I'd get a good, smooth dough, almost all kneaded. Then switch to the flat beater paddle, increase the speed, and beat for a minute or so to really distribute everything. I think that should help. PJH
