I think I probably do what I'd call a generous six cups, and by that I don't mean they are rounded, but they aren't flattened off with a straight edge.<br /><br />I sprinkle flour on my board, and then I dump my dough out on it to knead after I've mixed it up pretty well in the bowl. If my dough is so sticky that it's sticking badly to my hands, and sometimes it is, I will sprinkle a little more flour on it as I'm kneading it. The dough is stickier at night (but not runny) and stretchier the next morning.<br /><br />You'll kind of get a better feel for it as you go along and make more. I know that probably doesn't make you feel good right now, but as long as your dough isn't runny or so sticky that you can't get it off your hands, you're probably okay.<br /><br />Keep me posted!Kayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209767050363975413.post-18056444153510378822010-02-14T22:29:53.921-05:002010-02-14T22:29:53.921-05:00Hi Karen, I have a bread question...I was getting ...Hi Karen, I have a bread question...I was getting the bread ready for its overnight rise and it is really wet and gooey.<br /><br />Six cups of flour doesn't seem like near enough to be able to handle the dough. <br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />The starter, best I can tell, is ready to go to work, but the flour amount has me baffled.<br /><br />Thanks for any help.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142751244042443828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209767050363975413.post-14821062842832178622010-02-09T15:24:44.759-05:002010-02-09T15:24:44.759-05:00Hi Karen,

Plus it stunk up the whole house! Now I'm curious...I just may have to try making my own with the potato flakes...just to see if I can. <br />Oh~and thanks for reminding me, I need to go make a batch before bed tonight:)Lora @ my blessed lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579408092425311320noreply@blogger.com
