Tips
The dough is sticky for a soft, moist crumb.
Cup hands and pull dough towards you to form a tight, smooth outer skin when shaping.
Apply an egg wash for an extra golden crust.
Rub butter on top after baking for extra deliciousness.
Can be made with or without sourdough discard; adjust flour and water if not using sourdough.
If using sourdough, yeast is still needed as it's a quick yeasted bread recipe with about 1.5 hours rise time, not enough for sourdough to rise the dough.
