Good question, Debbie - Here's what the blog and recipe say: "To make the dough: Combine the overnight starter with the remaining dough ingredients, and mix and knead — by hand, mixer, or bread machine set on the dough cycle — to make a soft, smooth, elastic dough. If you're kneading in a stand mixer, it should take about 5 minutes at second speed." Like most doughs, it's tacky to begin with, then becomes less so as you knead. This is never a really "wet" dough; it's rough to begin with rather than sticky. Hope this helps — PJH
