This is starting to become frustrating! Maybe I should take a class...all the Youtube videos I see are using much drier doughs, which makes shaping easier. But I like the product of a wet dough...
Hi,

next loaf .... make it drier by a few percent. Do a longer initial mix and more folds. Experiment.
