Thanks, that's helpful. I've never really made bread before, and don't have a stand mixer or a bread machine. It would have been helpful to have a few more tips on working by hand (i.e., how long to knead, whether or not to add flour if it's super sticky, etc.). I felt like I was winging it. It's proofing now, and I'm a little worried since it never really got smooth. Maybe I should I have kneaded longer. Ahhh, the stress of not knowing?! Time will tell at this point!
