Every sourdough recipe I’ve ever seen says something along the lines of “perform 3-4 sets of stretch and folds over the next 2-3 hours”. At first glance, It sounds simple, sure. But once I start thinking about it, how do I know what a set is? Am I doing 3 or 4? And am I doing them over 3 hours or 4 hours? Instead of getting frustrated with the process, you need to ask yourself WHY am I doing this? So here’s the deal. The point of a stretch and fold is to gently develop the gluten netw...

🥖Stretch and folds are a crucial step in sourdough bread making because they help develop gluten structure, improve dough strength, and enhance fermentation. Here’s why they matter:   Gluten Development: Stretching and folding the dough aligns gluten strands, creating a strong and elastic network that traps gas during fermentation, leading to a better rise.   Dough Strength: It strengthens the dough without excessive kneading, making it easier to handle and shape later.   Gas Retention: A wel...

STRETCH AND FOLD, OR COIL FOLD?
Have you ever tried a coil fold instead of stretch fold?  While there’s no technique better than the other, I tend to rather choose a coil fold over a stretch & fold.   🌾I find a coil fold much more gentle to the dough, as it only relies on the weight of the dough and you can’t over stretch it and tear it as with a stretch & fold  🌾It gives that smooth surface to the dough, which you won’t get with the stretch & fold, plus some lovely small bubbles on the surface  🌾At least to me, it’s easier to judge the dough development from one folding to another. How stretchable the dough is, and how it starts filling with ‘air’ throughout the bulk fermentation.   🌾You will also notice the reduction in stickiness as you progress with the folds  There are a couple of instances when I would stick

Both are techniques used during bulk fermentation to strengthen the dough, help the development of the gluten network, equalising dough temperature and trapping little air into the dough. It also gives you the opportunity to check on the progress of the dough regularly. There is no technique better than other.

In my first year, stretch & folds seemed to be more suitable for my skills, but also for my low hydration doughs. 

Only later I have introduced the coil folds. So if you’re just starting, do not put pressure on you to go for the coil folds, if the thought of that is stressing you.

🌾First of all - how many?

I would typically perform 4 sets of foldings, but there are occasions when I would push it to 5 or even 6/7 depending on how the dough behaves throughout the bulk fermentat
