Question about folding

Submitted by LLM777 on August 31, 2009 - 10:21am

I am using Floyd's Whole Wheat bread recipe on the site and it says to stretch and fold 2-3 times during bulk rising. Does that mean during the 60-90 minute rise I am to interrupt it and fold the dough every 20-30 minutes and if not, what is the technique?

Thank you for your help. :)

Yeah, that is what I do.

Floydm's WW turned out great!

I did as you said and it turned out great! I will use the stretch and fold method during the bulk rise for all my breads now if I can. I had no idea how much that helps.

By the way, I used a mixture of grains (spelt, kamut, amaranth, and millet) for the whole wheat and it still turned out deliciously and rose beautifully.

Thanks, Floyd!
