Hi Todd, I've roughly transposed your recipe in terms I work with. I
don't think it's too bad but I would add an extra feeding stage to your
75g of starter. May be 12 hours before take a couple of teaspoons of
your week old starter and make it up to your 1/4 of a cup. Try
fermenting it for just 12 hours too.
I never knock back, I'm not tooooo fussy with shaping but I don't knock
back or punch down.Depending on the temp of your fridge I wouldn't
really consider that proofing. I only put my dough in the fridge to
suite my schedule and pretty much don't count fridge time. I sometimes
put leftover dough back in the fridge and bake it the next day being
careful not to knock it back. I like this bit of bread. I wouldn't do
it for a lot of dough though because I don't have room.
If this extra feed doesn't work just for kicks try one more feed. If
that doesn't work. I'm stumped. You'd better ask the big boys. : -)
Let us know how you get on and what you try.
