I'm planning on making a Jamie Oliver pizza dough which uses 800g flour, 200g semolina, 650g water, then salt, sugar, yeast etc. I was just wondering if that quantity might be a bit heavy for kneading? Please don't tell me to do it in 2 batches as I already need to make 3.5 batches of it!

I won't tell you to in as many words..but I don't usually go over 550g flour... I've seen recipes with 650/700g but 800g + 200g semolina is a bit too much IMO.

I think you may risk stripping your blades if you use that quantity of ingredients in your TM three times rostess.
There was a discussion here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7202.0) about it.

I just read my fridge guide....for a sticky dough the max is 750g (personally I wouldn't normally go even that far). So altogether you are about 250g too much. You could times the quantity of flour + semolina by 3 (total number of batches you want to do) then divide by 750 (max amount of flour) which will give you the minimum number of "batches" =4....and follow with the other ingredients. Might be just as easy to do 1/2 batches....
At least you'll only need to knead each batch for 2 minutes or so :)

Unless you are feeding a football team, this is a lot of dough. I also think it is too much for the TMX.
Just re read your post. Mix all water , yeast etc with 1/2 flours, tip into large bowl and knead the rest of the flour in by hand. Do this in 3 different large bowls. Sounds like you are feeding a football team. Good luck.

Good advice Chookie

It's for 17 people, at my neighbour's house. I volunteered to make the dough as I said it would be no problem in the thermie! 😳

Rostess, Thermi will cut down the work, once you get a system going.

it's been scaled back to just 2kg :D I'm glad I thought to check about the weight or I could have had an overworked thermie on my hands. I'll just need to do 4 batches which shouldn't take long at all.

A good idea. As you say it won't take too long at all.
