One of the most common reasons why dough turns out firm (and the bread dry) is because too much flour is used. To ensure you’re using the right amount, we recommend either measuring your flour by weight using a scale, or fluffing and sprinkling the flour into your measuring cup like this. Using these techniques should produce a soft dough that's slightly tacky to the touch and a loaf that rises nicely. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
