Can I knead by hand rather than using a mixer?

If kneading/mixing by hand, what technique would be best? Also, how much time (kneading) by hand? Thank you!

Absolutely! I'd recommend the slap/fold technique, my go-to method: https://www.theperfectloaf.com/guides/slap-and-fold/

Yes, it will just take about 20-25 minutes instead of 7 as in the recipe. Here’s a tutorial on kneading. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/374-Bread-Baking-101-How-to-Knead-Dough
