@Judi LOL! Beli’e me, my hands got dirty!!
When I use my bread maker I don’t just throw everything in, turn it on and walk away. I watch if for several of the first revolutions. If it’s too wet, it’ll stick to the sides,and I’ll toss more flower in. Too dry and the machine will start laboring and I add more liquid.
However, in this case it appeared to be perfect first time around (which would be first time ever)! In fact, from the way it was holding together I almost thought it was too dry, but when I poked it I could tell it wasn’t. In fact, it almost felt too wet, but I thought it couldn’t be, because it wasn’t sticking on the sides.
Well, it finished it’s dough cycle and I went to pull the dough out, and OMG!! A sticky, wet, gooey mass! I couldn’t believe it! So I turned it out onto the floured corner and worked flour into it and worked and worked. However, my initial grabbing of the dough was pretty much a super-glue night mare on the hand I grabbed it with! But….oh well.
I think it turned out OK. Fewother things went wrong. First I forgot salt. Second it wasn’t my house, and I couldn’t use my daughter’s the middle rack so used the top rack…and it burned a bit on top. Covered it with foil and stuck it on the bottom rack, which, of course, caused the bottom to cook too quickly. So it wasn’t quite done, but for an intial experiment it went OK
