PJ, I made the Scali and had the same results as others. My starter was dry, too, so I added a bit of extra water right at the start. I thought it was because I have a wood cook stove and the air here was dry from that. Then this AM the starter looked just like Marj's. Didn't want to throw it out cause it's too much fun to experiment. I added extra water to the bread machine and it seems OK, just not shiny. It's only 3-ish inches tall, though, and I remember you said it's used for sandwiches. How do you get it to go taller instead of wider?
