Hi Jasmine. We're glad you reached out! It definitely sounds like there was too much flour, which is a common problem in dryer months. Ideally, you want the dough to be tacky, like a sticky note, and soft like your cheek when you poke it. As far as kneading goes, most doughs take about 5-7 minutes in a stand mixer on speed 2, or 10-12 minutes kneading by hand. It sounds like you did everything right, it just needed a couple tablespoons of extra water to compensate for the dry air. Hope this helps! Annabelle@KAF
