Can anyone tell me if my dough is finished bulk fermentation yet? It's been 11.5 hrs at 20c. The recipe says 8-10 hrs at 21c. and i think my starter hadn't quite peaked yet when i used it. it's 75% hydration dough. Do you see the bubbles on the lower right? But that's just 2 bubbles.
Unfortunately, nobody will be able to tell if your dough is proofed by looking at it.
Looks interesting, what did you put in it?
I did 3 sets of S and Fs. Didn’t do window pane. Maybe rose 50% , can’t tell. Poke test seems to say it’s was ready to bake at final proof. I baked it. It’s a chocolate chip sourdough. It’s a bit messy with the melted chocolate The crumb isn’t as open as I was expecting with 75% hydration Was also hoping for more oven spring but I’m just happy that I don’t see gummy spots but maybe they’re hidden by the chocolate I won’t be making this again The chips burn to a black crisp on top of the loaf

Ngl never quite understood "chocolate sourdoughs" lol. Like, I get that it's kinda like a "chocolate and wine" thing but idk, acetic acid-y chocolate doesn't quite sound right.
IKR. I made it for the benefit of my son who has a sweet tooth. I tried it and it actually tastes pretty good. the bread isn't too sour.
