Jess, don't give up; and do call our hotline, 855-371-2253. I suspect, as you do, that the dough is too dry. MUCH better it be too soft than too dry! A dry dough will never rise as strongly as one that's softer. Add more liquid next time; and let the dough rest for 20 minutes before kneading, to let the flour absorb the liquid more fully. This will help with the stickiness. Best of luck - PJH
