I am new to making yeast breads, so what did I do wrong when I tried to roll out the dough? I greased the work area just like the instructions said, but everything was too sticky. I kept wanting to dust it with flour (like making biscuits!) to make it more workable. Help!!! Next time, if the dough is THAT sticky, dust with flour - it's OK! The reason we generally don't roll on a floured surface is the more flour in the dough, the heavier/drier the final product; oil helps prevent adding too much flour. But it sounds like you could have used some... Don't be discouraged, Debbie. The more you bake bread, the more you learn, the more comfortable you get with it. PJH
