Marie,

Your recipe is definitely "too wet".  I'd start by reducing the water 
to 3/8 cup, reducing the yeast to 1 1/2 tsp and increasing the salt 
to 1 tsp.  Watch the dough as it's kneading.  If it appears dry or 
stiff after about 5 min, add more water 1 T at a time.  Give the 
dough a pinch.  It should be soft, pliable and slightly tacky to the 
touch.  If you continue to have problems, let me know and I'll be 
happy to lend a hand until you perfect it.
