My dough came out really wet and sticky- even after adding more flour it just wouldn't hold any shape and kept spreading on the counter. The weather was hot and humid outside. What should i have done before dividing the dough? Continue to add more flour? Ciabatta is a very slack (wet) dough. Yes, it will "spread" as it rests on the counter awaiting division. A little more flour may be needed in a particularly humid environment, 2-3 tablespoons but no more. Give that a try next time. Frank @ KAF.
