Re: Disect this dough formula for me please

Wow. I never heard that before. Everything I’ve ever seen talks about idy being hardy. To thr point it didn’t matter how and when it was added. Into dry or into wet.

It’s not a matter of wet or dry, it’s a matter of warm or cold. Hydrating IDY in cold water leaches glutathione which can make a dough overly slack. The IDY is hardy, and cold water doesn’t necessarily damage the IDY – though it will slow it down.
