How can I have a dough attachment when I have a Dretec Handmixer?
I have a Dretec Hand Mixer and as far as I can see it doesn't have additional attachments for sale online. Can I attach some other mixer's dough attachment onto it?

AFAIK it's really difficult to knead dough with a hand mixer even if it comes equipped with dough hooks.
I was in your shoes a while ago too and after some research, found that it's basically useless for kneading dough. Unless you're Popeye, you're not going to be able to hold the mixer and the bowl steady enough for the dough to get kneaded. I ended up buying a KitchenAid.
Either spend the money on a stand mixer or just knead your doughs by hand.

Can I put a dough hook on a hand mixer?
Kneading by hand is perfect for those of you who don't have a stand mixer (or can't find your dough hook\u2026). It also allows you to really improve your bread baking skills by developing a sense for how the dough should look and feel during different steps of the bread making process.Can you use a hand mixer to knead bread dough?
For this reason, some recipes recommend using the paddle attachment to start mixing and then switching to the dough hook once a rough dough is formed. You can also simply stir the ingredients with a spatula or other tool first.How to knead Dough with Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer (2 steps)
