I am a total novice at baking. I've wasted entire bags of flour trying to get an edible pan of biscuits. But, in trying to transition to making everything I possibly can homemade and from scratch, I went looking for sourdough recipes, and while I wait for my starter to mature I decided it was probably a good idea to practice just making bread, and I stumbled upon your recipe. I am on the second rise now, and so far it's surprisingly going beautifully. It may be common sense to most (?), but the fact that you specified that it's ok for the dough to be sticky, and in the comments you mentioned kneading in oil, was a BIG tip. Otherwise I would have just kept throwing flour on it while kneading it, and well, I now know (I think) why I suck at baking. So thank you :)
