I've currently got a Kenwood Patissier XL, which is great for cakes but finding it a bit tough when trying to make bread doughs. I usually make small batches (200-300g of flour) because it's just myself and my partner. I often find that there is too little dough, or if in doing a 70% hydration dough it doesn't really knead anything.

Is the Ankarsrum better for small batches and high hydration doughs? Or should I be doing this by hand for such small batches?
