Hi Drew, While it's very hard to overknead by hand, it can happen pretty easily in a stand mixer. Try keeping your kneading time to 4-5 minutes on speed 2. Erring on the side of a stickier dough is better than a dry dough, so don't worry too much if your dough doesn't form a smooth ball around the dough hook. If it's so wet that it's more glue than dough, hold back on some of the water next time. You want sticky and tacky, but not gluey. Hope this helps! ~ MJ
