Hand kneading beat my $300 stand mixer on this rye loaf and I am still annoyed about it
I made the same rye recipe two ways on Sunday, once with the dough hook and once by hand for 12 minutes, and the hand kneaded one had a way better crumb and rose almost a full inch higher. My mixer has been sitting in the cabinet since, which feels like a waste of $300. Anyone else find their hands do a better job than the machine on certain doughs?
