How do you knead bread properly?

well you could start by not have girly little fem hands so you could actually work the dough.

that's on a need to know basis

standmixer and a doughhook

I don't want to spend $300 on something I'll only use occasionally.

I just go crazy with it for like ten minutes, freestyle

Buy a bread maker from a thrift shop and use the knead setting.

I have a KitchenAid and I don't knead bread in it because the pussy ass motor can't take the strain over the long run

If it's bread, then you're too late.

Basically this.

Trying to explain the "proper technique" to knead dough by hand just using words is practically impossible.

Use your shoulder and the heel of your hand. Press your hand on the dough then slide it in an outward motion. Lather rinse repeat.

press the heel of you hand in hard, fold in half, turn 90 deg., repeat. 10 minutes is usually enough.

Should be somewhat elastic, homogeneous, and tacky but not super sticky.

KNEAD TO KNOW, MUCH FAILURE YOU ARE

a great way to ruin a dough if someone doesn't understand the basics (which OP does not)

Well done, anon. Actually made me laugh.

First, take off any g'damn rings you're wearing.

Second, just flatten it, fold it, and do it again, and again, and again until it's nice and smooth.

With enough practice, you'll be able to feel when it's at the right consistency.

That should be titled how NOT to make French bread.....or any bread.

She's obviously a complete beginner at kneeding/shaping it, but the basic technique she's going for is still baguette making 101.

The fact that you wrote "g'damn" makes you a flaming faggot

i use a bread machine to do the kneading.

I stopped watching when she left half of her dough in the bowl....
