Fucked up the bread, third time in a row.
Stretching and folding the dough is very important. At least three times, but four would be more optimal. 30-45 mins of rest between each. I dun goofed by run the clock, and it leavened for 1-1,5 hour. By that time it leavens, but if not folded enough times it will remain more solid, on the other hand another stretching and folding just halts the leavening process.
And there's the question of temperature while it leavens. Doesn't matter if relatively hot or cool, I think it needs relatively constant temp. In hot weather it leavens faster, but in cool, it needs the night rest. But now we have relatively warm day, but not warm enough, and cool evening (and cooler night), and since no heating is needed, the temperature drop effects the process.
I think.
