Advice for Fermentation

During fermentation process, dough undergoes various changes: the gluten structure is modified, its volume is increased and flavours and aromas are developed. Humidity shall range between the 75 and the 80%. By respecting this level, we prevent pieces from being very wet, of a smaller size or without brightness. The recommended temperature is that of +28º / 30ºC. High temperatures cause the dough’s weakening and the pieces’ lack of development. Comply with the indicated fermentation time. The optimum fermentation stage is known when, by pressing lightly with wet fingers, the piece returns to its previous condition. If it doesn’t, it means the time has been excessive.
