@brynn_ann: 5 Tips for Making Sourdough in a Warm Environment If your dough keeps over fermenting, getting sticky or loosing its shape…try these things! 📌 TIPS: • Use less starter • Lower your hydration + use cool water • Add your salt right away • Build extra strength early with kneading or slap & folds • End bulk fermentation a little early (especially if you’re pre-shaping and cold proofing) You definitely don’t have to use every tip at the same time. Experiment, mix and match and find what works best for you and your environment. I hope this helps 💛 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughtips
Yesterday, mine fermented in 3.5 hours.....super quick. Living beachside Valencia, Spain. Will definitely try out your tips. Thanks again Brynn 🥰

if you don't have a bowl cover do you use a wet towel or a dry one? I've seen people say both 🥴 I've tried wet towels but I haven't had a successful loaf yet

Today I decided to put a dough in a freezer for 20 minutes because it was going nuts in the fridge. I think it helped but we’ll see how it bakes tomorrow

I’m here in Texas and I’m telling you what I made three loaves yesterday within six hours of starting to mix it and the loaves are turning out so much better than a couple of months ago when it was cold

CHRISTINA | Kindred Quilt Co :
can you help me? 😭 I'm on day 15 of making my starter and there is absolutely zero activity. no rise. no bubbles. I feed once per day. 1:2:1.5 ratio. house is set at a constant 76°. king Arthur unbleached bread flour and I've added rye and wheat flour on past feedings. smell is like beer mixed with playdoh but not alcohol-y.

My proofing box is my refrigerator to control the temp. I live in Florida and it’s hot and humid. I’m a newbie so I throw out all caution to the wind. Particularly when making a croissants loaves. I use cold water and when doing my stretch and folds it’s 15 in the fridge, 15 on the counter. My loaves have come out perfectly.

Great video... Adjusting your starter volumes to and the way you handle it depending on the weather is so critical 👏🏼👌🏼

I CANNOT get my dough to hold its shape after cold proofing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! It doesn’t go completely flat but it doesn’t hold shape either

People should understand that most "proofing boxes" can only increase the temp (by heating). Those few that can heat AND cool are less common and more expensive.

Is it bad if bulk fermentation goes quickly due to weather?

Ok - now an oven question- can it be cooked at lower than 450 (ish) degrees so the house doesn’t get as hot? Been trying to do it prior to the sun rising since living in Portugal without air conditioning.
