RTFM? "-)

Whoops! I was off by half a cup. It's 3-1/2 cups

Instruction and Recipe Booklet for my Deluxe 11 Food Processor says
"Plastic dough blade is intended only for recipes calling for at least
3-1/2 cups of flour. If your recipe calls for less flour, remove
plastic dough blade and insert metal blade. Always use metal blade for
recipes calling for less than 3-1/2 cups of flour, such as pizza dough."

Manual for my old DLC-8 Plus says the same.

I note that the info here speaks of a metal dough blade. Huh!:

Manuals also contain info about maximum amounts of flour involved for
various dough recipes, too.
