Hello, I am a novice bread maker - just started this winter but I love it. Am having one problem - when you cover the dough on the second rise with a damp cloth the dough sticks to the cloth and partially deflates your loaf when you pull it off. Is it necessary to cover the dough on the second rise whether with a damp or dry cloth? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Denise
