To provide a simple method for controlling the mixing of bread dough to finish the mixing in an optimal state.

This method for controlling the mixing of the bread dough, comprising mixing the bread dough by the use of a mixer and then finishing the mixing, when the bread dough becomes an optimal mixed state, characterized by detecting the change in the torque of a motor for driving the mixer and finishing the mixing. The method for controlling the mixing of the bread dough, characterized by dividing a process for mixing the bread dough for each constant time and finishing the mixing, when Δmax (i) and Δmin (i) are smaller and larger than a specific threshold ΔA and a specific threshold ΔB, respectively, within the range of the No.i constant time from the start of the mixing.
