Hi Bryan, you can certainly opt for a ceramic bowl if you have one. That will help support your slack dough and give it structure. You can also try building strength in your dough by using a flour with a higher protein content (like bread flour) and adding some strength and folds into the rising process. (Here's a video of how to stretch and fold dough; try doing this three to four times, every 15 minutes or so during the first rise.) That should help. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
