Here’s the backstory: I make several batches of sourdough bread every week. Oh man, that dough is sticky! Especially if your recipe uses a lot of water. I used to fill the pans with water and let them soak, but that turned out to be "no bueno." Raw sourdough bits down the drain? Not a good idea. Those bits would stick to my...
