Hi, I mixed/kneaded KA whole wheat flour and half cup of water in a glass container but the dough looked very dry after mixing it so i added little more water and used my hands and kind of kneaded it. Is that ok or should i start over. It seems like it will always be kind of on the dry side with 1 cup flour and half cup water, is that true or should i not worry about it ? The reason your starter seems dry is most likely the way you have measured your flour. Adding a little more water is good, but take a look at this video and form here on out, measure your flour correctly. Your sourdough and breads will come out great. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/videos/how-to-measure-flour
