Hi - question for you.
I made this today (it is doing it's first rise as i write this). I used my KitchenAid to mix it...first with the paddle and then changed over to the dough hook. After mixing with the dough hook the bowl came out of the mixer holder. By mixer holder I mean after you place the bowl onto the mixer and then you snap it backwards into place and then raise the bowl up with the handle....during the mixing process with the dough hook it came out of the snapped position. I was wondering if you could tell me why this happened....was my dough not wet enough ? I added more water than suggested because that's what I thought the issue was but then after the water mixed in and it would snap out again....the dough seemed tough when placing it into the greased bowl.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Lisa - This usually happens as the result of a stiff dough - though you might have a bowl that just doesn't fit quite right, and is more prone to pop out. Did you weigh the flour? If you scooped it out of the canister without weighing, you might have put up to an extra cup of flour in the recipe - and that would DEFINITELY make a very stiff dough. Take a look at our tips on measuring flour, just in case you have any doubts... PJH
