Final Sourdough proofing and size
So, as I scientist I am always experimenting in theory then embark on the big experiment. So I am considering taking half of my planned sourdough bread tomorrow to make 1 boule and then a lot of smaller (80g) rolls.
The dough goes through the same process of course, but will just take half of it at the final shaping stage (see below) and divide into smaller balls. Big question: Is the proofing time the same irrespective of size? Will the dough proof quicker in smaller balls?
Thanks for all help as usual
