Hi, Lauren! It sounds like you may have had a touch too much flour in your dough, which is a super common pitfall for folks who are measuring their ingredients in cups! If you have access to a digital kitchen scale, that's definitely the best way to get consistently accurate measurements. But if that's not an option, then visiting our handy How to Measure Flour guide is a great way to ensure you're getting just the amount of flour you want in our cup, and no more. Your dough isn't likely doomed as a result, it may just be on the dryer side, and might be a bit crumbly and less flavorful. But it's all a learning experience; that's how we become better bakers!
