and I made it during the pandemic a lot. I never had a stand mixer, so here are your answers:

1. Yes, just cover it and leave it on the counter out of drafts.

2. Of course you can knead it by hand, what do you think Grandma did? You knead it until it feels like the consistency of your earlobe, if that makes sense. It won't be sticky any more and it will feel just "right". I think you'll know. And by the way, that recipe sounds yummy!
