Five Creative Ways to Use a Food Processor
                     5 Ingenious Ways of Using 
a Food Processor
From chopping to slicing and 
shredding; we find that a good food 
processor is an essential tool for any 
kitchen. But do you know that food 
processors are also capable of so 
much more than just whipping up a 
quick tomato sauce? Read on to 
learn about five lesser-known uses of 
the food processor.
1-Knead Pizza Dough
You can knead pizza dough with hands in 8 minutes 
or in a stand mixer in 5 minutes, but kneading it in 
the food processor will save some more time. Just 
add flour, sugar, and yeast together in your food 
processor, iced water and pulse it for 
approximately10 seconds, or until no dry flour 
remains. Then let the dough rest for 10 minutes, and 
refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Properly kneaded 
dough should have a smooth and almost glossy 
appearance.
2-Crush Ice
You might have never thought of 
your food processor as a tool which 
helps you make smoothies but it is 
perfect for crushing ice: simply pulse 
up to 2 cups of ice cubes until it is 
finely ground. Put the crushed ice in 
a cup, and add strawberries, milk, 
vanilla ice-cream, and enjoy your 
strawberry smoothie.
4-Grind Nut Flours
The difference between the 
consistencies from nut butter to nut 
flour depends largely on how long 
you have processed the nuts. The 
longer your process them, they 
release more oil, taking them closer 
and closer to nut butter.
Pulse 2 cups of whole almonds, 
hazelnuts, peanuts, cashews, or 
pistachios until they are finely 
ground, 16 to 20 pulses. You will end 
up with about 2½ cups of nut flour 
that is perfect for gluten-free and 
paleo baking.
5-Make Bread 
Crumbs
Making bread crumbs on your own 
allows you to control the size of 
those crumbs, and also you can use 
any type of bread simply tear the 
bread into pieces, and pulse it in 
your food processor until it is ground 
to the desired texture.
