OMG !! I finally got it! I've made this bread about six or seven times. It always tastes good but would go flat. I added a little extra flour and worked it by hand after taking it out of the kitchenaid. The ball then looked like your picture. I was able to slit it successfully. It did the oven spring. I can't wait to make again. BTW I used the First Clear flour and pumpernickel as suggested in the recipe.
