Theoretically? Yes, bread dough can be over-kneaded. But this typically happens only when people get their dough going in a stand mixer and then walk away, forgetting about it for an extended period of time. It is virtually impossible to over-knead dough by hand. Your arms would tire out long before your dough would! We're not exactly sure why your Japanese Milk Bread came out dense, but it's possible that it was overly-risen and then collapsed in the oven while baking. In this case, you may want to experiment with shortening your rise time a bit for a taller, softer loaf. Happy baking!
