Wondering if your sourdough is ready to bake? Here are 3 simple signs to look for: 👇 ✔️ Puffy, airy dough ✔️ The finger poke test – gently poke your dough, it should bounce back slowly ✔️ Your dough has slightly expanded in the banneton or loaf pan (you don’t always see a dramatic rise if you cold proof, but it should fill out the vessel a bit). Getting the timing just right takes practice, but don’t stress—your bread will still be delicious. The more you bake, the more you’ll learn. 💛 📌 Save

How to know if your sourdough is ready for baking (poke test): 👉 Gently press the dough with your finger: • Springs back quickly — under-proofed. Give it more time. • Slow, partial spring-back — ready to bake. • Indentation stays — over-proofed. You can bake it, but it will be flatter. The poke test works only for the final proof, not for shaping! It isn’t always 100% accurate — every dough behaves differently. Practice and learning to read your dough is the key ❤️🥖 . . . #sourdoughstarter #mi
