Bernardi Impastrici has for years been synonymous with dough mixers that are used both in serious home kitchens and in bakeries. For home use there are three models to consider: the My Miss Baker, the Miss Baker Pro and the Miss Baker Pro XL. They cover different dough quantities and differ in motor power, bowl size and kneading speeds.

Models and capacities

  • Bernardi My Miss Baker: 0,5–1,8 kg flour (equivalent to approx. 0,8–3 kg dough) in a 10-l bowl, 250 W
  • Bernardi Miss Baker Pro: 0,5–1,8 kg flour (equivalent to approx. 0,8–4 kg dough) in a 10-l bowl, 500 W
  • Bernardi Miss Baker Pro XL: 1–3,5 kg flour (equivalent to approx. 1,5–8 kg dough) in a 20-l bowl, 500 W

Which doughs can be mixed?

All three machines handle flour quantities from 500 g upwards. They are suitable for yeasted doughs, shortcrust pastry, bread doughs — including sourdoughs — and focaccia. In practice the models can mix the same types of dough; with the My Miss Baker, which has a single kneading speed, the process can take a little longer depending on the dough. The mixing result remains comparable, and operation is pleasantly quiet.

Speeds and kneading behaviour

  • My Miss Baker: 1 kneading speed, 250 W
  • Miss Baker Pro/Pro XL: 5 kneading speeds, 500 W

For most doughs Bernardi recommends mainly using speeds 1–3. Speeds 4 and 5 should be used sparingly to avoid over-kneading.

Differences at a glance

  • Motor power: 250 W (My Miss Baker) vs. 500 W (Pro/Pro XL)
  • Bowl volume: 10 l (My Miss Baker/Pro) vs. 20 l (Pro XL)
  • Dough quantities: up to approx. 3–4 kg in the 10-l bowl; up to approx. 8 kg in the 20-l bowl
  • Controls: a single fixed kneading speed (My Miss Baker) or five speeds (Pro/Pro XL)

Which machine suits you?

My Miss Baker – compact for the family kitchen

If you regularly mix small to medium batches and mainly work with flour quantities between 0,5 and 1,8 kg, the My Miss Baker is a compact choice with a 10-l bowl and a quiet running motor.

Miss Baker Pro – more reserves with the same bowl size

If you want more power with the same bowl size and the flexibility of five speeds, the Pro also covers 0,5–1,8 kg flour but offers a 500 W motor and therefore reserves for more demanding dough handling.

Miss Baker Pro XL – for larger batches

For larger quantities the Pro XL is built around a 20-l bowl. It handles 1–3,5 kg flour (approx. 1,5–8 kg dough) and is sensible if you regularly prepare large dough batches.

Practical tips for good results

  • Observe the minimum quantity: All three models start reliably from 500 g flour.
  • Choice of speed: Use speeds 1–3 for most doughs; use higher speeds only briefly to avoid over-kneading.
  • Be patient with a single-speed machine: With the My Miss Baker mixing times may be a little longer — the result is still convincing.
  • Range of doughs: From yeasted and shortcrust doughs to bread doughs including sourdoughs and focaccia, the models are versatile.

Conclusion

The choice primarily depends on your typical dough quantity, the preferred control (one or five speeds) and the available space. Those who mainly mix small to medium batches will find the My Miss Baker well suited. The Miss Baker Pro provides more power and flexibility, while the Pro XL is designed for larger dough quantities.
