My sister convinced me to ditch the mixer and hand knead my bread dough
She said I was overworking it and killing the gluten, so I tried her method on a basic white loaf last Sunday. The crumb came out way more open and airy, has anyone else had that switch work for them?

Wait, you're telling me a mixer can actually hurt the gluten?

Oh absolutely, you can absolutely wreck your dough by overmixing. It's like taking a perfectly good bicep and just doing curls until it snaps (dramatic but also kinda true).
