This is how You master sourdough proofing by utilising those 4 best methods. All of the methods are evaluated individually and then compared side by side. This way you will get more oven spring and that mouthwatering ear every time.

We will be covering the proofing stage in depth, having a look at the shaping process first since it acts as a foundation for your following proofing stage. Then we will be having a look at 4 different proofing techniques, reviewing the pros and cons of each of them.

The recipe for the dough:
- 400 grams of bread flour (15% protein), you can mix wheat gluten to get there if you have less protein.
- 100 grams of ground whole wheat flour
- 100 grams of rye starter (20%)
- 350 grams of water (70%) - if you have less protein (12%), I recommend to try 65% water. With 15% protein you can easily go as high as 85% hydration, however, this is my simple same day recipe.
- 10 grams of salt

Instructions:
1. Mix flour and water and let that sit for 2 hours
2. Mix in your sourdough starter at peak performance plus your salt
3. Incorporate everything for around 3 minutes
4. Let that mixture sit 15 minutes
5. Bench knead the dough for 3 minutes
6. Extract a small probe to check bulk fermentation progress. Mark that probe. When it doubled in size, proceed. Make sure the probe stays close to your main dough. Check [ Ссылка ] for more timings.
7. When you see your dough flattened out, apply a coil fold. Try to apply the last coil fold around 1 hour before your dough is ready to be shaped. The less you coil fold, the more open your crumb.
8. Shape your dough directly out of the container
9. Proof your dough like mentioned in this video
10. Bake your dough directly
