overproofing tartine recipe in fridge for12-18 hours
Hi,
This may have been posted a million times but I can't find it.
I use the tartine recipe with 50% wholewheat and 50% white. 80% hydration. (800g water...so guess it's actually higher? maths not my strong point).
I make levain night before. start loaves in morning. Ready for 3-4 hour prove by lunchtime. I stick them in the fridge till the evening and bake then. I'd really like to leave them overnight but when I do this they seem to be overproofed.
Resulting in little oven spring when I bake (dutch oven)Anyone have experience of this? Am I being too hopefui leaving them all night?
