Hi there, Kathy! You can try kneading this dough by hand if you'd like but it is a sticky dough and adding too much flour to it will make it dry and not rise well. Also, it can be hard to get the butter evenly incorporated when kneading by hand. If you have a stand mixer or bread machine, we'd recommend using it as it will make the process much easier. Happy baking! Morgan@KAF
