Hi- Thanks for the information. I added a few more tbsp of water to the dough and it softened up. It rose very nicely as well. I copied the photo on your blog, and placed a plastic bag over the top. Sadly when I checked in on at 3/4's of the way through the rise, it had fallen in on it self and was sitting on top of the dough. When I went to adjust it, I noticed that the dough deflated somewhat. I didn't know what to do, so I let it rise for another 25 minutes. It did rise some, but not to 1" above the pan. I moved, forward because I was running out of time, and placed it in the oven. At the 15-20 minute mark, I tented it, but I didn't see much browning happening. I cooked it for the remaining time (45 minutes in all) and until the temp was about 198°F and still it remains pretty anemic . Any insight into what happened?
