@brynn_ann: Mastering Bulk Fermentation for Perfect Sourdough 5 Signs Bulk Fermentation is Done:
 1️⃣ Has your dough risen? 
2️⃣ Do you see surface bubbles forming?
3️⃣ Is the dough jiggly when you move the bowl?
4️⃣ Try the poke test - does it slowly spring back?
5️⃣ Check your bulk fermentation chart for timing Every dough + kitchen is different! #sourdough #bulkfermentation #sourdoughtips #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking

Yes but that sourdough journey chart has caveats depending on how much starter you use and type of flour

if I had a dollar for every time I have over or under fermented my dough I'd have as many dollars as I have bread

My dough is always sticky to the touch, I can never get a dimple test. But it pulls off the bowl clean.

Could you make a video about sourdough in a cold environment if you haven’t already? I’m in Alaska and I’ve found some things can be very tricky lol

Does bulk fermentation begin as soon as your dough is mixed or does bulk fermentation start at the end of the final stretch and fold/coils? Example: I was done mixing my dough at 9:30 AM (this is when I had the shaggy dough) I was done with stretch and folds and coils at 12:30pm. So does bulk fermentation begin as soon as I have a shaggy dough at 9:30 AM or at the end of the final coil which was 12:30 PM?

Someone said to put a small ball of the dough in a bowl of cold water and if it floats it’s ready and that is game changing for me.

Had all the good signs yesterday, except from perfect pull from the sides. But I live in a very humid place, so it's tricky. Excited to bake now 😅

Do you cover the dough with a tea towel or cling film during bulk fermentation? I’ve done towel only and seemed to dry out slightly

Mine did all these but it came out super dense and hard to chew. So is it underfermented or over? Because it doubled, I did the poke test and the dent stayed maybe a little came back, stuck more on one side but other side came off pretty smoothly too. Had bundles and was giggly:(

Hi! I’ve been following your videos to a T. My first 3-5 loaves were great! Now all of a sudden, my dough is super sticky after bulk fermentation. I can’t even shape it because it’s just all over my hands. What am I doing wrong?
