You can tell if you've kneaded dough enough by looking for a few signs:
Windowpane Test: Take a small piece of dough and stretch it gently. If it can make a thin, see-through sheet without breaking, you're doing great!
Smooth Feel: The dough should feel soft and stretchy, not sticky or bumpy.
Bouncy: If the dough pops back quickly when you poke it, it's ready to go.
Timing: Usually, you should knead it for about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes if you're using a stand mixer. Just remember not to knead it too much!
When you knead the dough just right, it helps create that yummy chewy texture we all love in bread. Happy baking!
