Ironic that the Cover Photo's artist is named Teig, which means "batter" or "dough" in German. Great article. Nur Übung macht den Meister. As the writer points out so well, only practice makes the master/mistress, and that practice must be worked in all weather and seasons. I'm returning to a love of bread baking after a decade-long break. How do you keep the dough from sticking to your hands? I'm currently adding too much flour to lower stickiness, but that alters taste and proofing times. Help!
