Earlier today I was watching one of Kenji's videos in which he makes a pizza dough. At the end of one kneading step, his hands are absolutely covered with sticky dough.
What he did next floored me as it is so simple......in fact, he doesn't even draw attention or mention that he is doing it in the video, but he takes some extra flour and coats his hands with it. He then rubs his hands together and the dough quickly balls up into little itty bitty balls and falls off into the sink.
A few moments ago I found myself in the exact situation with ultra-sticky dough all over my hands. I did the flour trick and it works beautifully!
It makes sense why it works....odd that I never thought of doing it. Sure beats smearing dough around under water!

), to prevent most of the sticking.
