5 tips for shaping sourdough bread 👇🏻
1. Avoid using flour when shaping or if needed just lightly flour the surface. Use the tackiness of the counter to build tension on top of your loaf.
2. If your dough is tearing let the dough relax for 10-15 minutes and then reshape.
3. Preshape the dough and then let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes before the final shaping. While it isn’t essential, it does help give the loaf additional height when baked.
4. Flour your basket with rice flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Rice flour doesn’t have gluten which is why it works so well for this.
5. Use damp hands when working with the dough. It will prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers.

Bonus tip: Don’t compare your dough to mine or someone else’s. There are so many factors that influence the dough including flour type, hydration level, fermentation, and more. Don’t panic if your dough doesn’t look like someone else’s. It doesn’t mean yours is bad, just different.
