Wow, does this look like a fun recipe to try! I hate working with sticky doughs too, and I wouldn't have the nerve to try it without your encouraging words and the great photos!! Thanks. I note you told someone to substitute double the amount of active dry yeast for the instant yeast in this recipe. I use SAF instant yeast, and I purchased one of your great yeast measuring spoons that I always use. When I make a bread recipe that just calls for "1 pkg yeast", should I be using less than the 2-1/4 tsp. that spoon holds because I'm using instant yeast? Maybe recipes calling for the "1 pkg yeast" were written before instant yeast was widely available. Now I'm confused. Thanks for your help. You're not confused, just not confident.....yet! You are doing exactly the right thing by using 2 1/4 t. for 1 package of yeast - whether it is instant or active dry. View the sticky dough as a fun challenge and permission to play a bit with your food.....remember those mud pies? Irene at KAF
