My neighbor told me to stop kneading my dough so much and it finally came out fluffy
She said I was developing way too much gluten for a simple sandwich loaf and after I cut my kneading time from 10 minutes to 5 my bread actually rose properly, has anyone else been overworking their dough this whole time?

Got a friend who used to pound her dough like it owed her money. She'd knead for a good 15 minutes because she thought that's what made it good. Her bread always came out dense and tough, like a brick. Then she took a class and the teacher told her to just mix until it comes together and let it rest. First try after that and she made the softest loaf I've ever had from her. She said she felt so dumb for fighting the dough all those years.
