Some breads were not meant to be

I should have just left this bread alone. But I'm not one to let a loaf go to waste if it has half a chance at becoming delicous. After being roughly manhandled in an effort to get the salt integrated, this dough had a nice long nap in the fridge. I ended up having to take it to my parents' house to bake, since I didn't want to hold up dinner. It was horrendously soft and sticky- it oozed everywhere as I tried to get it into the oven. It smelled really good baking, but I was disappointed in its slipper-like shape. I had been envisioning a nice round loaf. It looked ok coming out of the oven, but I could tell as soon as I cut into it that something was wrong. The crumb was moist and dense, full of big, gummy holes. Ugh. I should have just thrown it away at that point, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

It was awful. This one will probably take a week or so to recover from.
