What should sourdough crumb feel like?
Should it feel dry when you touch it with your finger? Sticky? Tacky? Moist?
I ask because each time a loaf has a tacky crumb to the touch I assumed it was a failure.
But I bought a sourdough loaf the other day for an astronomical price and the crumb was tacky.
So what should it be like?
Thanks
A sourdough is moister than a standard loaf. But it still should be fully baked--even when it finally registers over 200 degrees, it still needs extra time in the oven.
