How do I know if the dough proofed well?
Answer: I don’t, I can take the best guess by looking at it if it’s giggly, fluffy, has bubbles on the bottom of the proofing container, feels light, etc.
How does an under proofed dough feel like?
Answer: it’s heavy when you work with it, the quantity of it seems less even though weighing scale is showing the right weight in grams, it’s not giggly, doesn’t have lots of bubbles.
How does an under proofed dough look like after you bake it?
Answer: the loaf doesn’t spring much, it has small bubbles when you cut it, feels more dense.
How many hours should the dough be standing in a room temperature until it’s ready for shaping?
Answer: no one knows🥴, when the room temperature is warm it will get proofed within 4 hours, if the temperature in the room is cool it might take 5 to 6 hours to be at its peak!
