According to the most comprehensive reference ever written on bowlines, the EBSB bowline (which is a variation of another variation, called the EBDB bowline, together with a sort of Yosemite finish) is probably the safest easily undone tie-in knot for climbing. It looks like this:

I can modify my EBDB bowline until it looks exactly like this knot. I'm pretty sure it's the very same, but I want to be over-sure. I can't find a reference that teaches to tie this knot step by step anywhere. Can someone help?

You just needed to look a little farther on the PACI site for a step by step instuction on how to do the EBSB.

I made a video about it like 2 years ago:

With a FPV of tying the knot.

Also be noted that the bowline paper has been updated and there's one more variation in there that is safe for climbing called "Harry Butlers Yosemite Bowline" which has been my default go-to lead climbing knot for the past 2 years, i recommend it over the ESBS since its a bit simpler to tie and inspect. Plus you end with no tail on the working end of the rope which helps when clipping.
