Change can be hard, can't it, Lisa? The good news is that your husband chose a great machine for you, and we are confident we can help you get a great loaf out of it! Different machines work best with different dough consistencies, so it can take a little experimentation and observation to figure out what the right consistency is for your new machine. From what you're saying, it sounds like your dough is a little too dry for this machine and that adding a little additional liquid will help. While you may need to stand over it and check the dough consistency while you get to know your new machine, you will quickly learn what consistency you're aiming for and will be able to walk away. We have a number of bread machine experts on our team, and if we can help talk you through this anymore, please feel encouraged to give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE. We'd be happy to chat, especially if it means increasing your comfort with your new Zo! Mollie@KAF
