i am baking a pure levain loaf . After approx 8 hrs after feeding of the levain , I am mixing the dough for the autolyse , after 30 minutes I am mixing the final dough, with 216 gr of leaven. I am folding the dough 4 times & letting it rest covered overnight. The next morning I divide it & put in proofing baskets for 4 hours. The house is at 75 to 77 degrees and the loaves seem to me to be overproofed. After transferring to Dutch oven they do not raise during the baking. It appears to me that the room temperature is too high for an overnight rise & then again for a 4 hr proof. Help I need help!
