Well when reading the Tip and Tricks on the King Arthur’s site, it said if your dough is lumpy it needs more liquid and mine was lumpy, not smooth. Should I have just left it alone then? In my bread machine instructions it said to make sure my yeast does not come in contact with the liquid or salt when putting in the ingredients. So it won’t hurt to mix that in after the dough sits? My bread maker did not start right away on the whole wheat cycle. Maybe it was resting then, however, the flour was not totally saturated in the water since it was not mixed up yet. Thanks so much for your help. I did measure everything exact. I even weighed my flour.
