OldOne here again. My first batch were so good that I made another today - total disaster. Even after dribbling in a bit of water, the dough didn't come together in my stand mixer, so finally I scraped it all out, divided it between the two buttered pans, and pressed down with my fingers, using plastic wrap, and pricked and baked. One pan batch just fell apart, and the second held together and when cut into wedges, it was a bit crumbly. I know the recipe works as the first batch was very good, and I believe the failure of the dough to come together was the cause of this disaster. I'll try again next week, but would appreciate any suggestions. It sounds like you have too much flour in your dough.
