Why We Love the Bosch Universal Plus
- Built to last for decades — strong motor, smart design, and easy cleanup.
- Handles big batches — up to 14 pounds of dough!
- Works beautifully for both everyday cooking and serious home baking.
- Optional attachments let you turn it into a full kitchen workstation (slicer, blender, food processor, etc.).
I’ve used Bosch mixers for years — and they’re a real workhorse for homesteaders, bakers, and busy families alike. I love my Universal Plus because it handles double batches of whole wheat bread with no problems. When I was a young mother and tried using bread machines, I burnt out three of them before I invested in a Bosch. It’s been with us ever since.

I love watching videos of bakers using the Bosch mixer! What a beautiful machine. I just know that is the mixer for me! I love making my own loaves of bread as I know what I’m putting in the mix. I don’t have to worry about all of the ingredients listed in store-bought breads. I love to prepare food for others and for holidays and this would just make the process easier. Thank you for this opportunity!
Hello! I’m dealing with some food sensitivities and pretty much making all my food from scratch. This would help immensely as I plan on baking bread too. I have your bread book already. 🙂
This would be a blessing! I am gluten free, and have to rely on my sister to make bread for me when she has time. (I haven’t found a store-bought gf bread yet that is edible!) Needless to say, it would be wonderful to be able to make my own gf bread and not have to bother her.
Thank you for this opportunity!
I have to eat gluten and dairy free. I am wanting to start a gluten free sourdough starter this winter, and would love the mixer for making bread and all the yummy sourdough baked goods! At some point in the next year, I want to try out freshly milled wheat flour and see if I can eat it. I would definitely use the mixer for making bread then!
I am finally retired and now have time to start my bread baking journey.
This will certainly make that easier as well as other scratch baking for the holidays and beyond.
For the past 40 years I have been using a hand mixed or just a good old wooden spoon to mix dough.
This Bosch Universal Plus would be a huge blessing! Thanks for the opportunity!!
I would make be able to bread for my family weekly. I make bread occasionally, but it’s time consuming. I usually end up buying bread that we really don’t want to eat.
I make lots bread for my family( they are all grown up with families) so I’d use the mixer to make it easier!! And save time
I would use it for bread dough and baking healthy cakes and muffins. Mmmmm
I would use this mixer to make all kinds of goodies for family, neighbors, church members and those in need.
I would love to use this mixer for everything.
I would make our Christmas kolaches with this mixer as I can no longer do it by hand.
I make all of my bread. This would be ideal for me to make the different types of breads that I make. I also make rolls and buns and of course, the cinnamon rolls. This would save me a lot of time.
I have RA, so this would make mixing bread dough soooo much easier!!
l have made bread for years, sharing with family and friends. Even sending bread to my son in the Army. now that I am getting older (79), this would really help.
I would use this for cookies, cakes, bread, and in time I’d buy some other attachments. It would be lovely to win.
In our senior years, my husband and I garden large gardens and produce most of our own food for ourselves and 2 grandchildren. Winning the Bosch Universal Mixer would allow us to streamline our bread production and get us back to planting, mulching and food production.
Thank you Nutrimill and Laurie for this opportunity.
I would love to be able to easily prepare breads! I am still mixing, and kneading my bread dough by hand.
I love to bake and having to be gluten free, I do a lot of baking but could be doing more. Currently I am using a second-hand, heavy duty mixer bought at an auction when my long-time mixer of 37 years started sounding like a rock crusher and wasn’t so reliable any more. But it is difficult to manipulate the stiff push buttons of the “new one,” so I haven’t been baking as often. The Bosch Universal looks like it would allow me to resume baking routine I had and possibly change the breadmaking routine so I would be able to create a variety of baked goods for our home, family gatherings and to share with friends with the joy that baking brings me. There is nothin’ like lovin’ baking in the oven.
I was strolling through the internet looking for zucchini recipes this fall, when I learned about zucchini flour! (I really like zucchini! I planted seven different varieties this summer, hoping for a surplus. Well…. The bunnies, wood rats and chipmunks helped themselves, but I still had a few baseball bat specimens that had escaped the tender time of picking). I am now baking bread with my dehydrated powdered zucchini! Egg, milk and wheat allergies curtail my baking menu, but this mixer would enable me to create “that green Seussian bread” that just doesn’t last very long. Thank you for the recipes, the stories and this mixer opportunity!
I’m assuming you mean because it tastes so good? But it does remind me that I always put at least a little dried ground rosemary in my breads. I can leave my bread on the counter for days without it molding.
I would use my new Universal Plus Mixer to make homemade bread for my family. Fourteen pounds of dough would wonderful.
I would love to win this new mixer.
Thank you !!!!
I recently started baking sourdough bread but since I don’t have a heavy duty mixer, I have to knead it by hand. I would love to have one of these.
