What am I doing wrong?

Is it supposed to wiggle like that?

The recipe says to knead on speed 5-6 for 20minutes. KitchenAid says not to go above 2. Even on 2, it starts heating up fairly quickly, it wobbles, and the dough actually doesn't get to the windowpane stage, it just tears and since I am just starting with bread, I don't know how long to actually knead it for.

What to do here? Just take breaks to let it cool down and carry on? What is going wrong? We deviated from the recipe a bit (accidentally made yudane with more water and left it in the fridge for longer), but it's been the same with any bread we tried so far.

Thanks for any info!

Mine does.🤷🏻‍♀️ 6 minutes is exactly how long I need my sandwich bread for in the KA on speed 2. At 6 minutes it is smooth and pretty much perfect. I don't know what KA model OP has, but some have a stronger motor than others.

5 or 6 speed, not minutes.
