sticky dough
Adhesive bread mixture
Sticky dough is dough with high moisture content that clings to hands and surfaces during handling.
Bakers work with sticky dough when making ciabatta, focaccia, and other breads where hydration produces an open, airy crumb.
Wet hands or oil help manage it: The sticky dough was hard to shape but baked beautifully.
