I have a question for our bakers and chefs and general kitchen superstars - whenever I try to make something doughy - like pretzels or scones - the mix is always way too sticky. I follow the advice on the ingredients, but yeah, too sticky so I end up essentially eating half the mix off my fingertips.
Any suggestions on how to combat this? Is it simply needing to add more flour?
Don't add all your moisture at once. The weather can change things a fair bit. Either flour or oil your hands.
Hadn't considered oil...
