🔍 Dough diagnostics

Overproofed

  • Flat ball, sticky / fragile
  • Large bubbles collapsing
  • Sour smell
  • Tears when lifted

Fix next time

  • Reduce yeast 25–50%
  • Shorten warm bulk
  • Use colder water
  • Ball & refrigerate sooner
  • Prefer 24h over 48h in hot weather

Underproofed

  • Tight ball, hard to stretch
  • Little gas
  • Tears from resistance

Fix

  • For the 30 h cold profile at 22 °C: use 3.0 g fresh yeast/kg, bulk 3 h, then refrigerate balls 28–30 h
  • If there is still almost no activity after the 3 h bulk, check yeast freshness and the actual fridge temperature
  • Use the optional yeast override only after changing one thing at a time
