Notes
- The amount of flour you need will vary based on the humidity in your house. After adding the listed 3 1/2 cups and mixing it, check your dough. If your dough remains sticky, especially if small bits of dough come off on your fingers when you press into it, slowly add more flour, a scant quarter cup at a time. The dough should not be dry and should feel slightly tacky but not wet or sticky.
