Dough dried out overnight
Two questions:
1. If my dough dries out after an overnight rise in the fridge, even with plastic wrap on top, does that mean my fridge is just too cold, too dry or I didn't use enough water in the dough?
2. Follow up, I had to add a fair bit of extra water to the Bagel recipe in the Artisan Jewish Deli At Home book recipe to get the dough to form, and then it still seemed a little on the dry side. Would that explain #1? Should I just add more water next time? It used both yeast and sourdough starter and called for an overnight rise in the fridge.
