Is there a way to make/knead this bread entirely by hand please, and if yes, could you explain or show us how?
Thank you.
It'll be quite sloppy, but sure. Knead the dough right in the bowl as best you can; oil your hands, and work with a bowl scraper to work the dough around in the bowl, scraping it down into the center. Just keep working it till it smooths out somewhat. Then, let it rise for an hour before kneading in the cheese; let it rise again, till puffy, after you've added the cheese. This extra rise gives the dough more of a chance to develop, since it's unlikely you can develop it as much by hand as it would be donw with a mixer. Hope this helps - PJH
