Slap and fold failure - too much or too little
Hi
Looking for any insight from you kind folks
Trying slap and fold for the first time. 80% hydration, 10% rye. Just would not come together. Must have done 400 over 20 to 30 mins with a rest in between
Get the dough going fine, starts to tighten up after 50. Keep going starts to get a bit sticky. Do a 5.min rest after about 150. Start slap and folding again, maybe do another 200 but the dough feels weak and just won't come together.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Should I have kept going or did I do too much?
