We'd be a little surprised if you were over-kneading the dough by hand, Elena, as it's pretty hard to do, but it may be that you're working too much flour into the dough because it's so hard to handle when sticky. To help avoid this, you might try using an alternative kneading technique that's geared towards wetter dough. If we can offer more guidance, feel free to give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE. Mollie@KAF
