This question is on repeat in the comments and my DM’s.
1: lower the amount of water in your recipe. You can also lower the amount of stater used. Start with 50g reduction and see how that does.
2: avoid letting your dough get too warm. If it feels warm to the touch, I’d suggest letting it sit on the counter for a bench rest to cool down some before shaping.
