Hey friends,
For the last two months I have been working with Levito that I bought from Italy. Feeds him with panettone flour. They hit a triple in three and a half hours and recently also with a normal ph 4.17-4.25. I also use professional recipes (Roy,giorilli and others).
The initial dough triples + within 8 hours. Final proofing-4/4.5 hours.
The whole process works great and gentle but I still don't get the open texture I would like
Can any of you please give me an answer as to why I am not reaching the right texture?

There are of course multiple reasons. First, do you know the pH of your first impasto after the overnight rise?
Do you have full gluten development at step 1 (flour, sugar and water) of the first impasto? Do you have full development after the next step (adding the LM)..... Do you have photos of these stages?
Just some thoughts....
