THI’m gonna catch some hate for this one…..warm, or even room temp, isn’t your friend. Give your yeast her time to beautify herself, stop rushing her 😒
Yeast activity speeds up in warm temps, which shortens your peak window and makes over-proofing way easier. Using cool water slows fermentation, giving yeast more time to build a beautiful structure.
✔️ Slower fermentation
✔️ Longer peak window
✔️ Better oven spring
✔️ Less flat 🍑 dough
Cold water = control.
Sourdough doesn’t need to be coddled like a newborn, she’s a lady.
