Yes, it is possible to knead dough without using both hands. While using both hands is the most common and efficient method, you can still knead dough with one hand if needed. Here are a few techniques you can try:

  1. Single-Hand Kneading: Place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Use one hand to push the dough away from you using the heel of your palm. Fold the dough back over itself using the fingers and repeat the process. With each push and fold motion, rotate the dough slightly. Continue kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

  2. Stretch and Fold: This method involves stretching the dough and folding it over itself repeatedly. With one hand, grab the edge of the dough, gently stretch it away from you, and fold it back over the rest of the dough. Rotate the dough slightly and repeat the stretch and fold motion. Continue this process until the dough develops elasticity and a smooth texture.

Remember to adjust the kneading time as needed. Kneading develops gluten in the dough, so the goal is to achieve a smooth and elastic consistency. The process may take a bit longer with one hand, but it is certainly possible to knead dough using just one hand.
