Fredericka,
You will need to knead the dough for the normal time 10 to 12 min, until 
you can pull a window. To make good bread it is very important to develop 
the dough.
I too have the 325 watt model at home, but I use it for cookies and cakes 
and mix the bread dough by hand. I find it comes out better that way.

Matt
