The dough was super slack and very fragile during shaping. I stitched like 3 rounds, it was still drooping like crazy. Not sure what happened 🤷‍♀️
Decided to cold ferment and bake anyways.

Turned out to be my best bake ever!

    How did the three rounds of stitching work? Stitch, rest, stitch, rest, stitch, fridge?

    Maybe it’s more humid than usual? Maybe you doesn’t work the gluten as much in your initial mix? But ultimately, gentler handling results in more open crumb! I think reflecting on what happened is worthwhile since your results are so good!
