Hello, Miranda! I am sorry for the delay in responding, I’ve been under the weather. If you are trying to do this with minimal kneading, I would add the flour, stir with the handle of a spoon or a butterknife to incorporate the flour, cover, wait 10 minutes for the flour to hydrate and see if the dough is more workable for your needs. If not, continue to add a bit of flour, cover, wait and check until you get the to consistency you are after. I hope this helps!

I’ve tried no-knead recipes that had either too low hydration (flour/water relationship) or too high. The frustration to have to bake with too dry a dough, if I had seen this before. Just a question please. You mention that you knead for 5 minutes to incorporate the liquid. A no-knead bread you resist to knead, it rests, autolyse sort of. So, as for the too wet dough tutorial, would you say that one can only let it rest too, instead of kneading? I don’t have dry dough to practice, I just have tons of too wet dough at the moment. Thank you for sharing this.
