I read Danny’s post the other day about less time in the bulk stage and into the fridge. I was shooting for no more than 50% rise, shape and in the fridge. I have been making sourdough for a couple of years with mixed results. This may just be a game changer!

 

I am interested in seeing this advice, because I am prone to over fermenting my doughs. I had a quick search on the forum but I couldn't find it, can you post a link in the this chat?

i accessed from a comment in some other post. The big thing is to shorten the bulk to a 30-50% rise, no more!  Shape the loaf and put it in the fridge overnight. Bake it straight from the fridge. It made a big difference to me. You must have faith, it doesn’t rise much in the fridge
