I am a beginner sourdough baker and self taught off the internet so not sure what is necessary in my sourdough baking steps. After I mix my dough and let it rest, I have always done 2 or 3 stretch and folds. I noticed in your sourdough videos @Sandra Brenes you go right into shaping after dough has risen 4 or so hours. Is stretch & folds necessary? Thanks!

Can’t wait to gather and share my sourdough bread with everyone 😅😊

Hello! I’m taking my first stab at making dough for bread and mixed it at 7:45am and it doesn’t appear to have risen at all. 🤔

Here's a video explaining what happens at 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 & 72 hours in the fermentation process. How long do you ferment your dough?

I mixed up some sourdough dough tonight before dinner. These were mixed up within a few minutes of each other, but yet they have grown at different paces. Same ingredients and measurements. The slightest change in the environment can make a difference. I think the one on the right was getting a draft.
