My dough is sticky .... PLEASE HELP

:mad:

Evening all,

I want to make Koeksisters (a traditional South African sweet). I made the dough last night and refrigerated it as the recipe stated. However, it's really sticky and I can see the dough sticking to the rolling pin and work surface when I try to roll it out.

I added a little more flour and kneaded it well but it's still very sticky.....what can I do to make it soft and pliable?

Thanks for your help.


For God knew in His great wisdom

That he couldn't be everywhere,
So he put His little Children
In a loving mother's care.

    Lots more flour :D:D:D:D:D

    I find that bread dough made in a breadmaker is too moist to knead properly, so if I'm making pizza dough, I use less liquid than suggested in the BM manual.

    Also, often fridges are a moist atmosphere - that may have made your dough wetter.
