Thermomix bread mat

[bigTcup]

OK - I have searched the forum and cant seem to find anyone else with my problem.  I have only used my bread mat once and the dough stuck to the mat (a lot) - it was very painful to get all the dough off the mat.  Am I supposed to oil the mat? Has anyone else had this problem?

Nope I have not had this problem. Does your dough need a bit more flour?  If you roll the dough in a ball and around the mat it will pick up all the bits.

I would think that your dough was probably too wet. I test mine when it is kneading.

After 10 seconds of kneading when the TMX stopped I press the dough through the hole in the lid - your fingers should come out clean, if there is dough on there then add a little more flour.

There is a discussion somewhere on here with that tip from Quirky Jo (I think) - I will try and find it for you.

BigT Cup,  I also think the problem is the dough not the mat.  i have several silicon mats but the TMX one is the best.  A good sprinkling of flour on the mat may help.

I always use a bit of flour on my mat. It doesn't need as much as other mats but still needs some.

cookie your dough is too wet too then lol  I never use flour, unless I have forgotten to check the dough when it is kneading. You would make too much of a mess if you used flour on the mat at a demo

faffa 70,  like cookie I like my dough on the soft side,  you can always add flour but water is more difficult.   We also have the luxury of not having to do a demo.
