hi kenneth, thanks for your response,

w/o retarding, this sourdough has 2 hour bulk fermentation and a 2
hour final fermentation.
if i choose to retard the bulk dough, would i retard it immediately
after mixing? due to other issues, the retarding time is quite long,
about 20 hours.
i've also considered decreasing the percentage of starter in the
dough.... ?

thanks,

doug
