Sourdough for beginners
episode one
Still doing the stretch
and fold like this?
Please don't do that
Instead with your hand
go
ahead grab that bad boy
from one side stretch as
much as possible then
put it back
Do the same to the other
sides until you finish
all the sides
You think we're going to
here?
No
Alright, wet your hand
more time, go ahead,
grab
that dough, lift
It up and
and put it back
Do this for a few times
I bet you're going to
but we are not done
yet
Go ahead push the dough
underneath with the
circular motion while
rounding the dough
inside the bowl
And that's a proper set
stretch and fold
Do you see how
beautifully the dough
comes together
