Could you explain the 'brushing with lukewarm water' step? That is not on the directions which come with your sourdough starter, so it confused me. Thanks! Everyone's different in their approach to sourdough; there's no one right or wrong way. I like to brush my shaped loaf with warm water because my theory is that the water will 1) keep the crust just moist enough that it doesn't set until it's done rising fully; and 2) will create steam as it evaporates, creating a crisp/crackly crust. Try it and see if you like it - PJH
