Sourdough Autolyse: Is It Needed?

Is Autolyse Needed?

What is Autolysis?

Autolysis basically means mixing flour and water until it is just about mixed through (so as not to develop the gluten), and left to rest.

How does Autolyse Affect Sourdough?

An Autolyse helps the Dough become Easier to Work with An Autolyse Produces a Softer, Taller, More Open Crumb Loaf The Dough will Need Less Kneading Time The Bread will have a Better Flavor, Aroma and Color
