Why does nobody talk about over-kneading as the real bread killer?
Baked for 4 years, always got dense loaves. Last Tuesday I ran a batch through my KitchenAid on speed 2 for 12 minutes and compared it to a 6 minute hand mix. Same recipe, same proof time, night and day. Was I the only one missing this? How do you tell when you've hit the stop point?
