My kneading routine has become my new stress relief!

I started making bread to save money on store bought loaves. At first, kneading felt like a hard job and I got annoyed. I decided to slow down and focus on the feel of the dough. Now, it's like a quiet time that helps me unwind. My bread has gotten better with a nicer crust. This small win has made baking something I really enjoy.

Stress relief from kneading? My dough usually adds to my stress.

Yeah, I get what you mean, @price.logan. Kneading can be stressful if the dough is too sticky or tough. I found that adding a bit more flour or letting it rest helps a lot. Once you get the feel for it, the rhythm actually chills you out. I used to hate it too, but now it's my go-to when I'm annoyed, lol. Stick with it, and you might find it turns into a weirdly fun thing.
