Hi, Amanda. We're fans of spraying plastic wrap with some pan spray and covering bowls with that; much less likely to have dry dough that way. Towels were what was available "back in the day", and also provided a bit of a blanket in drafty houses. Also, if dough is dry enough that it won't take up more flour, don't add more flour. Susan
