I have a lovely Kitchen Aide mixer that has a dough hook. I used it once
and was so frustrated because I couldn't get the dough to make the
little ball that feels just right to my hands. (I couldn't tell if the
dough had been kneaded enough)

Call me a Luddite, but there isn't any machine known to man or woman
that can produce as good a knead as my two little hands.
