My aunt swore by hand kneading for bread and I wasted 3 hours last Sunday
She told me no stand mixer could ever give the same texture as doing it by hand. I spent like 3 hours working a double batch of dough in my Phoenix kitchen last weekend and my shoulders still hurt. The bread came out fine but not any better than my usual KitchenAid batch from 20 minutes. Has anyone else had a family member push some old school method that just isnt worth the time?

Aunt guilt is real but a 3 hour arm workout for bread that tastes the same as your 20 minute batch? Hard pass. Unless she's coming over to knead it herself next time, the mixer wins every time. Some family cooking lore is just meant to be ignored in a hot kitchen.

124 years of family tradition beats a KitchenAid every time.
