Rising
I'm making crescent rolls. They call for 3 hours to rise. I forgot to add the salt so after an hour I had to reknead while adding the salt. Will that matter? Should I let it rise another three hours or just two? Also I want to go play "Just Dance" and was wondering can I let it rise longer? I mean, if I have to punch it down will a longer rise matter?
If it's the first rise (bulk fermentation), then you want it to just about double in bulk, perhaps a little less.
After punching down, I would only give it 2 more hours, then proceed with shaping, final rise etc. as described in your recipe.
