I finally realized I was overmixing my dough for 10 years

It took burning through 3 stand mixers before a guy at the bakery supply place asked how long I mix. I said 8 minutes like a recipe from 2003 told me. He laughed and said stop at 4. Tried it and my bread texture went from bricks to clouds overnight. What finally made you guys change a habit you thought was gospel?

Man, did you also change your kneading technique or just the time?

Woah, THREE stand mixers? That's dedication to bad advice, man. I don't think I would've lasted through the second one before questioning everything.
