Kneading isn't strictly necessary with the right kind of process. Common to many methods is to make a sponge or levain to get the starter nice and active, then later mix up your dough and leave it to autolyse over a few hours, maybe with some stretch and folding, to develop the gluten without much kneading, which would otherwise be difficult with quite wet dough.
