@brynn_ann: How to Handle Sticky Sourdough Dough, for Beginners 1️⃣ Start with some gentle slap + folds - this builds strength and helps form a “skin” on the surface of your dough. *Credit: I originally learned this technique from @The Leavened Box - she has amazing content! 2️⃣ Do a quick pre-shape, cover with a kitchen towel and let your dough rest for 30 minutes. 3️⃣ Finish with your final shape and you’re good to go! Why is your sourdough dough sticky? A few reasons: 💧You’re working with a higher hydration recipe 🌡️Your environment might be warm or humid #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughtok #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughforbeginners

Day 10 over here with my starter and today Edgar was SUPER frothy and just about tripled in size. Are frothy bubbles good? Two days now I’m doing a 1:3:3 feeding ratio.

Mine has been more sticky than this. Sticks to the board more than yours.

The more I do gentle slap and folds, the stickier it gets even with the floured surface. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, my sourdough starter has mold on it on day 3. I followed your recipe, and it says to leave it for 2 days without feeding. why did that happen????

Hi, sorry, this has nothing to do with this video. I'm 2 days into creating my starter. It's already bursting out of the jar, but I noticed it's lumpy and stringy. Is that normal?

Lately I’ve been adding a little less water in my initial mixing and using water on my hands during shaping instead of flour and it’s been sooooo much better

I’m going to try this next time. Because all signs point to my dough being properly fermented, but the moment I start to shape…sticky.

After you make the bread do you keep it out, fridge or freezer?

Brynn I bulk fermented my dough for 7 hours. It looked good but when I dropped it on the counter it was really sticky. So this was at 1:00 in the morning. So I gave up and put it back in the fridge. Next day it did really well. Not too sticky, really jelly and came away from the bowl quite easily. But it was a blob. I couldn’t get it to become uniformed. I put it in the banneton in the fridge. I am worried tomorrow I won’t be able to even score it. My first bread, help.
