1. 1

   Adjusting Dough Consistency: Bread machine dough is slightly stickier than hand-kneaded dough. After mixing for a few minutes, the ingredients should turn into a dough that forms a soft, smooth ball around the blade. If your machine seems to be straining or if the dough appears too dry or stiff, add more liquid in 1-teaspoon increments to achieve the proper consistency. If the dough seems too soft or slack, add additional bread flour in 1-teaspoon increments until the proper consistency is reached. Do not add more than 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid or flour. The machine cannot compensate for wide variations from the norm and may not bake the larger amount of dough thoroughly.
