Too much flour I guess

Too dry from adding too much flour

You need more yeast and oil.

That depends: what kind of dough is this? What are you making?
This looks fine for a sugar cookie dough, but way too dense/heavy if it’s supposed to be a bread dough, for example. I could definitely help, but without more information the direction I give may not be correct.

What stage are you at? I’d wager it needs a few more kneads and a final proof.

What are you making? Looks like you need to knead more

Genuinely depends on what you’re making.

Try kneading on a surface lightly oiled with olive oil (and lightly oil your hands). Stops the dough from sticking without it drying it out because it’s absorbing extra flour.

Hydration or kneading

the dough looks a little dry. Maybe by adding too much flour in the kneading stage.

More importantly this is not properly kneaded. Probably it requires more kneading, but also, you have torn the gluten strands when making into a ball. You need to be more gentle as well (though adding more water will reduce this issue as well).
Let it relax for 10 minutes and then knead some more. Then shape into a ball.

I attempted to make fresh pasta. The dough would not seal on the bottom and breaks on the surface when streched

It looks like you overworked it and you didn’t use enough flour
You really don’t want to over mix dough
You need to be very gentle with it

Nothing. Has some alien eyes and nose holes forming. A hole in the head of the skull. It’s getting there. Looks great.

Does it feel doughy or wet?

It looks like a massive Lindt chocolate.

Did you coat it with olive oil and wrap it in plastic wrap for over an hour?

There is too much flour for me.

Looks hard and lumpy, probably not enough eggs or water, or flour quality problem
What is your ratio of flour mix?

How you measure your flour will have an effect on your finished product. If you weigh it will always be accurate. If you measure by the cup it can vary a lot depending on how you get that flour into the measuring cup. This can make a huge difference to how much liquid you need to hydrate your flour. Letting it set after mixing, so the liquid has time to fully hydrate the flour particles, also helps the texture.

Good point! I’m sure the poster doesn’t want their time wasted either. I’m actually interested in the answer because I’ve come across this also. Thank you for the breadit sub.

If the dough that you are making is a sugar dough, then that is how it is supposed to be as you have nothing to worry about.

How does dough get cellulite bro 😭🙏

You over kneaded
AwkwardNatural2264
You need to add a little water – it’s dry
grisalle
More kneading. You want dough to be soft and smooth. That is, if this is bread dough.
