Last week I made two loaves of SD bread using only ww flour and instead
of doing the mixing and kneading by hand, I chose the Kitchen Aid with
dough hook. The bread turned out great, soft inside with a great
taste, but it was more "crumbly" than when I make it totally by hand.

Does this mean that the dough was over kneaded? I used only ww flour
and salt in the recipe.

When did you put the salt in?

I mixed the flour, water, and starter, let it sit for 5 or so minutes,
then added sea salt (2 tsps), then began the kneading. This is way I
have done it everytime. The only different variable was the electric
mixer.
