Notes & Tips
→
Use the FDT calculator to hit your target dough temp. It's the single most reliable predictor of bulk fermentation speed.
→
Feed starter when it's at or just past the previous peak — hungry and active. A collapsed starter gives unpredictable results.
→
Add to dough at peak: domed top, 150% rise, slightly webby inside. Not before, not after collapse.
→
Bulk end: 50–60% rise, bubbles at edges and bottom, dome, jiggly. Never wait for 100% — that's over-fermented.
→
After fold #4 leave undisturbed. Moving the dough inhibits gluten structure and slows gas production.
