Hi Jumaimah Jamil.
Welcome to the Scoolinary community! Thank you for your question.
In this case, we wouldn’t recommend using the dough hooks on your hand mixer for heavier doughs like bread, pizza, or croissants, as the motor in these mixers is not strong enough and could get damaged. The safest option for these types of dough would be to knead them by hand, even if it requires a bit more effort.
On the other hand, for lighter preparations like cake batters, muffins, mousses, or meringues, you can safely use your hand mixer without any issues.
If you need more help or have any other questions, we’re here to assist you.
Best regards!

Hi Jemima
For bread dough, pizza dough, or croissant dough, you can only use the hook attachment.
For lighter preparations like cake batter, muffins, meringues, etc., you can use your beater or whisk attachment.
Best regards.
