How long should the bulk fermentation be?

The answer is: “It depends”

Reminder: the bulk fermentation starts the moment starter is being added to the dough and finishes with the shaping. It includes the foldings.

The bulk fermentation can be anything from just 3h to 10-12h overnight on the counter. And this will be influenced mainly by 2 factors

🌾The temperature in your kitchen

The warmer, the faster the fermentation will happen and the shorter the bulk will be.

To give you some hints, at 20°C / 68°F the bulk in my case is somewhere around 6-7h, whereas at 24°C / 75°F be 4.5-5h.

*the above are applicable for 20% starter in the recipe

🌾The amount of starter the recipe you follow calls for.

The more starter, the faster the fermentation will happen.

What dough looks like when it's done with the bulk fermentation. This dough was 80°F for the majority of the bulk fermentation, sometimes erring on the side of 78-79°F, but I did my best to keep it close to 80. I've been experimenting with trying to influence the temp of my dough by putting it in the oven with the light on and sometimes even adding a cup of boiling water to the oven rack to warm it up in there. I'm really enjoying the faster bulk fermentation, and I also find it's more pred...

I always get so many questions on over proofed dough! Here is an easy explanation of what it is and how it happens! ⬇️ What is over proofed dough? Over proofed dough is dough that has bulk fermented too long. You can visually tell if your dough is over proofed when it lacks structure, caves in, is stringy, very sticky, unmanageable, etc. How does dough over proof? The yeast eats through the sugars in the dough and the gluten structure weakens. This leaves the dough too fragile to hold it...

Baking in a dutch oven is no doubt a great way to simulate a steam oven. The lid will seal in the moisture released by the dough and let the dough expand by delaying the crust forming. It allows the dough expand to its maximum and also helps the sought after ‘ear’ to form. However, in comparison to baking on a baking stone or steel, which are much better in retaining and transferring the heat, when using a pre-heated dutch oven, it is very likely for the bottom of your loaf to burn. I have received this question couple of times and having experienced this myself, here are some ideas. 🌾Use coarse cornmeal, any sifted bran, or even ground dry sourdough discard. Add that to the dutch oven, before placing in the dough, no matter if you use or not a parchment paper. However, if you don’

Higher hydration dough—meaning dough with a higher percentage of water relative to flour—affects several key aspects of your sourdough bread: 1. More Open Crumb • Higher hydration = more water = more extensibility. • This allows the dough to stretch more, creating larger, more irregular holes (an “open crumb”). • Great for artisan-style bread like ciabatta or rustic boules. 2.
