I am filtered by baking bread. I hate how your hands get covered in sticky dough after 5 seconds even if you douse them in water. I hate how long it takes and i hate how much flour you waste if the attempt goes poorly. How do I learn to enjoy this activity?

>>18602725
I, too, was filtered. I decided I didn't like bread as cope. Life is much easier when you just pretend that you didn't fail and, instead, you just don't like the thing.

But you shouldn't give up entirely. Learn to make biscuits and tortillas. Baking soda/powder is much easier than yeast-leavened products.

I wouldn't mind giving baking a go but I have a small kitchen and it's the cleanup that's annoying, my hands are easy to clean. I just dont want to clean my kitchen for an hour or two, heck it might be worse with a large kitchen.
A bottle of hot sauce exploded in a kitchen of mine once, I was finding little spots of dried sauce for months afterwards. I dont wish that on anyone.

>even if you douse them in water
water is the worst thing you can put on your hands to knead bread dough. use oil.

if your dough is really sticky, let it sit for a few minutes. adding a little bit of flour can also help.

Use a silicon spatula for the initial mixing, it gets rid of the worst even at 65% hydration.
Hold back half a deciliter or a deciliter of flour, so you can use as much as you want to get it non sticky while kneading
Buy a gigantic bowl so you can knead up to 2000-3000g of bread in the bowl, making the process significantly easier to clean up.

>>18602791
Silicon spatula superior
But i see your technique is easier.

Just use a stand mixer. Pour ingredients in and watch it do the work for you.
It mixes it better and faster than your hands, with a better result. All you need to do is scrape the sides of your bowl so everything mixes.

And you now realize you responded to me without reading what OP wrote.
Also do you really find a stand mixer to be on the level of an air fryer or a toaster, something that just takes up space and gets used twice a year at max?
