My son & I joke that I don't 'have' a stand mixer, I 'am' the stand mixer... I agree w/ Smaug, you can always use just a hand mixer or your hands. Besides, stand mixers are a real pain to clean.
You can make any bread dough by hand; I wouldn't mess with the hand mixer. I first learned to make bread with a stand mixer, but soon realized that it was neither faster, easier (unless you have hand problems) nor better than mixing/kneading by hand- in fact I generally ended up finishing it by hand anyway.
