Only requirement being that you do have to have a bigass dutch oven, its an absolute requirement. But any decent cook has oven ready stuff like that already anyway

Stop being such a pussy.
That being said, if it were my Kitchenaid, I'd have chopped off your balls.

I prefer loaf breads though, I make a killer honey 5-grain. I use that Bob's red mill cereal mix in it. Tastes awesome and makes amazing french toast.
I have a big ass cast iron lecreuset dutch oven. Americas test kitchen has an awesome no knead that's very similar.

Re: I screwed up big
heat up 1/2 cup milk, add a tbsp active dry yeast and a tsp sugar, set aside until it's proofed
meanwhile whisk 4.5 cups flour (I use 50/50 white all-purpose and white bread flour), 1.5 tsp salt, 2tb sugar
melt 1/4c melted butter
heat up a bottle of beer (350ml) in the microwave to around the same temp as the yeast.
dump everything in the kitchenaid, add flour as needed (4.5 cups comes up short, you'll need a bit more), knead to a good bread texture and dump in a greased bowl until it doubles. Punch down and knead again, I do the second knead by hand. Quarter the dough, grease a couple bread pans, dump two dough balls in each pan. Throw a wet cloth over it, let it get about half bigger, slash the top and bake at 350F.
It's goood. It's like a regular white bread but with a ton more flavor, incredible just by itself lightly toasted with a bit of real butter. And different beer give it different flavors - a local brewery makes a jalapeno beer which is pretty gross to drink, but it makes awesome bread especially with chunks of cheddar thrown in.

I dutch oven'd Eileen once. It's one of my favorite memories. She had no idea what was happening-- I think she thought I was just being playful when I pulled the covers over her head.

And on a completely different food note, I just made turkey flips. Diced up leftover turkey, salt beef, potatoes, carrots, stuffing and a dab of gravy baked in a pastry. Sort of like a thanksgiving dinner pizza pop. Came out freakin' awesome.

Re: I screwed up big
Almost everyone I know. I'm the odd one out who makes stuff from scratch. They love the stuff I bring in but all look at me funny when I talk about anything specific. I feel like people take a step back when I tell them I'm doing upholstery now also.

Re: I screwed up big
What you actually need to do is upgrade that mixer to one that can handle the stress of what you need it to do. We used to have the artisan model and then I upgraded to the professional model. It's bigger and has more power. IBWIP loves me for it. Want more amazing blow jobs? Do this.

It's the Pro 500 model. What I need is a dedicated grinder. Running 2-4 deer a year through a kitchenaid grinding attachment isn't good for it.
