Making Bread with a hand mixer?

I want to start making different types of bread but my Morphy Richards is very picky about me following the recipes in their book. My trusty little hand mixer bought from Asda for a fiver has two dough hooks with it, are these really any good for breadmaking with or will I end up with a stodgy loaf?

It might just work, however if your dough is on the more substantial side it might cause the dough to stand still whilst you whizz around the bowl!
I would suggest wearing divers boots or nailing yourself to the floor first!! The quicker you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up...0 -

I made dough this week using the very same £5 Asda hand mixer and it was fine Moggins.

I think that these hooks called dough hooks are a bit missnamed.
I make bread in my Kenwood chef and I've heard that motor getting a bit laboured sometimes so I think a hand mixer would really struggle to cope with a bread dough. Do you have a food processor? this might be a better choice for kneading, you'd have to add nuts and other 'lumpy' stuff after it's come out of the machine though as it would chop them up.
Can your BM just knead your recipe? if you are shaping it and baking it in the oven I wouldn't have thought that the actual recipe would really matter if it's just used as a kneading machine.0 -
It just happens that there is a pair of "mixing boots" on eBay LOL
