For you I created the perhaps most complete deep dive on dough autolysis we baking nerds have ever seen. We will be having a look at 1 dough which was autolysed and another one where we didn't autolyse. We will closely compare each step from dough to the final bread. In this case I am using a sourdough, but the same effects can be observed for yeast based doughs as well, such as pizza dough for instance.

Recipe for each dough:
- 300 grams of bread flour (15% protein)
- 100 grams of whole wheat flour
- 320 grams of water (80%)
- 80 grams of sourdough starter (20%)
- 8 grams of salt (2%)

Flour I am using:
