Hi Cindy, a trick you may find very useful is to mix the ingredients just until the flour is moistened, and then to cover the bowl and let the dough rest for a half hour. After the rest period, return to the dough for kneading. The dough will still stick to your hands a bit - certainly at the start - but the dough will have absorbed some of the liquid during that rest period and it will be much easier to handle. I like to keep a dough scraper nearby when kneading. You can scrape the dough from your hands easily that way. By the end of the kneading period, the dough should be tacky, but much easier to handle.~Jaydl@KAF
