I have a made a version of this and it is lovely. There are some deviations here from my recipe and I have a question: This portion of the instructions: Add the rest of your dough ingredients, and set the machine for the dough cycle. ...My question is - what if I'm not using a bread machine? Just mix and knead in the Kitchen Aid? I don't know if the bread machine does anything special. At that point, you would add the remaining ingredients and work the dough together through to kneading. The bread machine does do a better job of kneading than a stand mixer. We really like that feature. But no reason not to use a stand mixer or whip this up by hand. Give it a try. Frank @ KAF.
