I'm experiencing a different problem lately that isn't addressed here. I get the dough going in my machine and use the touch method to be sure I have a nice dough ball. Not too soft, not too hard. It finishes its first knead, rests, and then in the 2nd knead I end up with a smeary, sticky dough ball that's adhering to the pan. I thought it might be a problem with the flour, so I got King Arthur flour and tried again, and ended up with the same mess. Any ideas? Is my bread machine at fault?
