Ed,

I was cutting back on the water because the dough was sooo sticky, I will
add the water back in and oil my hands in order to roll/flatten it out. Here
is the original dough recipe that came with the Breadman Bread Machine.

water - 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp (I whittled it down to 1 cup minus 2 Tbsp)
olive oil - 1-1/2 Tbsp
salt - 1-1/2 tsp
sugar - 1-1/2 tsp
bread flour - 3 cups
yeast 1-1/2 tsp
