Another question about Oven rise
I"m new to baking sourdough, and have had mixed results with oven rise, and could use some assistance.
I have a strong starter that rises and falls regularly. I feed it a few times before baking, then it goes into the fridge, but unless I bake right after the bulk fermentation, I only get about 75% of the rise I'm looking for. I generally try to limit bulk fermentation to 30%-50% rise before putting in the fridge, for anywhere between 10-12 hours. Loaves baked in a combo dutch oven.
The loaves don't seem to be over-proofed going into the oven, but I do see some fall when transferring from the bowl/basket to the dutch over. See the details below. They taste good, so that's a plus.
