What are people want to avoid kneading so much? Most of the recipes are for no-knead bread. I find this process very relaxing and prefer this over a session of meditation.
I love to knead, but in my tiny apartment I have a hard time finding a place to knead without making a mess. It would be nice to have a no knead option for some bakes.
I think it's just unnecessary. Kneading helps gluten develop, but the same thing can be accomplished by letting the wet dough sit out for longer.
