Have you ever had one of those moments where you're in the middle of something, and you suddenly think you've made a critical and expensive mistake?

Then the paddle stopped moving temporarily, and I started seeing little bits of smoke coming up.
After a brief moment of panic, I started hand-kneading the dough, and boy that was challenging.
