Are You Doing Cold Fermentation Wrong? | The 3-Hour Method for Bread and Pizza

With ‪@SeraphineLisheChannel‬ Why does cold fermentation improve flavor? It’s not just about time. Many home bakers believe a cold ferment must take 6+ hours to be beneficial, but we're pulling back the curtain to show you how this method actually works. In this video, we dive into the science of cold fermentation and how it enhances the flavor of your bread or pizza. We'll show you how to apply this knowledge to make amazing dough with a simple 3-hour cold fermentation method that fits any schedule. Watch the video for more! References: 1* Spence, C.
