Every dough I make is way too sticky, I try to stick with 70% hydration but no matter how much I knead or do " French folds" it's always too sticky and I need to add in more flour which messes up with the hydration. My breads are okay but they've never been really nice with thin crusts and lots of expansion. I'm new to baking and I live in a high humid environment, what do I dooo? please help me ;-;

try using more flour
or more finely ground flour and pay attention to how the gluten is formed
also use sour dough and age it more

that's more hydration
>>21398861
no

but more flour messes up with the hydration again right? also what do you mean pay attention to how the gluten is formed ? FYI I use a 12.3% protein flour. I haven't experimented with a sour dough starter yet mainly because it's pretty hard to get where I am and all the fail stories I've heard plus I kinda wanna get good at shaping first.

Embrace the hydration.
I just use stretch and fold technique then coil fold technique.
I use the same bowl I mixed it in, it never leaves the bowl, no kneading on counters.
Give it time to rise, it should poof up.
Lately been making focaccia style, just plop it in a cast iron, no shaping.
Make a sourdough starter its easy.

Try this way its easy:

that was one of the first recipes I followed but it didn't come out like hers. It was okay but not like the video. I've made breads like focaccia, Challah and Briosche-Shokupan and they turn out fine it's just these " French" style ones which don't. I wanna make Baguettes but If I can't even get a nice big round loaf, I probably will fail at the baguette.

I think fermentation is the key, give it more time to rise and dont bother trying to shape it other than with the folding. Do you do coil folds? When I do it at the end it always causes bubbles and gives it a nice form.
