Disappointing Final Rise
Have been using my Nancy Silverton starter for 15 years but since I moved into a new apartment I can't get the final rise in the oven I used to.
Not sure if it's the oven (too hot?) or my new fridge (too cold for the over night rise?)
One clue: when I score the bread right before popping in oven it really deflates - sinks so far down. poor thing.
I tried cutting out the over night rise and baking a loaf after just two rises in one day - no that was even worse.
appreciate any advice - I miss my big beautiful boules!
