Why do some recipes recommend a 30% rise and other a 100% rise?

The percentage rise is related to the dough temperature. Warm dough needs to be cut off at a lower percentage rise than cool dough. The dough keeps fermenting in all of the downstream steps, so with warm dough you need to "hit the brakes" earlier, at a lower percentage rise.

In this video, I introduce the "Two-Factor Method" of determining when bulk fermentation is finished -- by measuring the dough temperature AND the percentage rise.

This extraordinary video is based on years of research and hundreds of experiments. This method will get new bakers perfectly proofing their dough in record time. It does not require hundreds of bakes, or "baker's intuition." You do not need to learn how to "read the dough."

Follow this simple method and you'll be baking perfectly proofed loaves faster than ever before.
