I have made this recipe several time with mixed results. For this bread do you recommend kneading in the mixer/by hand over using the dough cycle on the breach machine? A few of the times my dough was way to sticky and I am not sure if re-scooping it in the middle of the bowl would make a difference. Any other suggestions? When I do get it right, it is delicious! At different times of the year (like, now), the dough is liable to be more sticky than it would when it's cooler and drier out. Ease back on the liquid by a couple of tablespoons; that should help. And oddly enough, I've found that kneading this particular dough in the bread machine seems to make it rise TOO much; I prefer kneading in my stand mixer. Hope this helps - PJH
