Effect of room temperature when shaping?
I can't for the life of me get any google results on the effect of room temperature on shaping the loaf.
So does anyone have a link to some info on this?
The reason why I'm asking is because I was making 4 small boule's tonight, and when I got to the 4th, cut from the same dough, it was incredibly sticky, and impossible to shape, even after shaping and reshaping 3 times. I realised that the small kitchen was quite warm from the oven being on for so long, and thought that might have been the problem.
I just thought I'd read up on it a bit, and see if that could be the reason :)
