HELP! Sourdough hates me! I have a great starter, it activates well. I followed the recipe exactly but my dough was wet so I added flour until I thought it looked the same as yours. In the final rise it spread out all over the place! I had to scrape it off the parchment into bread pans for another rise. I'm hoping this will still rise. So I started another while I wait for it to rise ( I had a lot of starter). Now it looks too dry at the 3 c flour stage. Wish me luck this time. I know I am at higher altitude so it should take less flour and raise a bit quicker. It does raise quicker but appears I need the same amount of flour. Well I'll keep trying. Any suggestions?
