Why Cover Bread Dough as It Ferments? The short answer is – cover it to prevent it from drying out. And there is no good reason not to cover. But of course, there are things to consider. We all know to cover our dough so that it does not develop a dry skin on its surface which can give it an unpleasant look and texture. Some people use cloths, some use plastic wrap. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
I use plastic wrap all the time. The main issue, and perhaps the only issue, is that it is not good for the environment. And I totally agree. Cutting down on single use plastic is a good thing. The only reason why I use plastic wrap is because I want you to see the dough rising and changing over time. I do not recommend using plastic wrap to anyone and I’m sure most of you don’t use it as much as I do.
My justification is that I get people into bread making, so that kind of off-sets my plastic use because of the positive impact of home bakers making their own bread instead of buying it in a supermarket. But maybe that’s just nonsense.
