概要
If you’ve ever felt confused about bulk fermentation, proofing, and cold fermenting… you are not alone.
And more importantly—this confusion is one of the biggest reasons your sourdough might be turning out dense, gummy, or just not quite right.
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down in a simple, no-guesswork way so you can finally understand what’s actually happening in your dough—and when.
You’ll learn:
- What bulk fermentation really is (and when it actually starts)
- Why stretch and folds are part of bulk—not separate from it
- The difference between bulk fermentation and final proofing
- What cold fermenting really means (and why it’s not a separate step)
- Why the fridge won’t fix under-fermented dough
- What to look for instead of relying on the clock
Because once you understand fermentation, everything changes.
Your sourdough becomes more predictable, your timing becomes more flexible, and your results become so much more consistent.
