I'm currently making this recipe and it's the first time I've ever made sourdough bread. A friend gave me some of his starter. I've used it for waffles (mmmmmm..) and now finally, bread! After kneading, the dough was very sticky.. so sticky that it was sticking to my hands. I thought I should knead it some more, but didn't since otherwise, it looked ok. Is that the reason for the stickiness? When I shaped the loaves, my hands were covered in dough. I'm new to bread baking, so I didn't want to start adding more flour or kneading longer, since I'm still inexperienced. I wanted to have some sort of baseline to work with for next time. They are currently rising. I hope they turn out well!! I'm excited!
