It looks like a mess, but don't worry about it.

If you happen to pass the poor neglected thing during the day, pound it around a little with a wet spoon.

If you are going to ignore it for more than 8 hours, put it in the refrigerator.

13
If you are in a hurry, ignore the ignoring part and proceed to the next step.

Pound your sticky dough around with a wet spoon to pop all the bubbles, then slop it into a well oiled bread pan ( do not whisper sweet nothings in its ear ).
-
15
Set a timer and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 10 minutes.
-

If it was kept in the refrigerator, let it sit a little longer.

When it's hot, put the bread in and set the timer for 50 minutes.
