I think I found the problem. I decided to check the accuracy of my scale and it's way off!
You have any recommendations for a good scale?
I have this one: Amazon Link
I got it because the display screen extends out making it easy to read when I have the big cambro tub on there so it's perfect for Forkish's suggestions of equipment.
Also, I would make the recipes exactly as is when just starting out. Its not that much more flour to make two loaves instead of one. Things can easily get messed up in the conversions. Just my thought.
Keep at it. Making your own bread is very rewarding literally and figuratively.

Glad you discovered your scale problem. I have a MyWeigh Maestro, which has a pull out display, an 8 kg main balance max weight, and a pull-out mini scale that is accurate to a tenth of a gram. Thus, it can weigh tiny quantities of yeast or salt accurately, as well as big honking batches of dough. See it here: LINK Runs around $50 from various vendors online--I like the Old Will Knott company, I've bought several from them. Good customer service.
Meanwhile, you could try again without a scale. 1 gram of water = 1 milliliter, so you can measure the water accurately without a scale. Measuring the flour by volume works okay if you spoon and sprinkle it into a dry measuring cup that can be leveled flat (like the metal kind w/a handle). Figure 4.5 oz per cup of AP flour.
