The coil fold looks gentle, but it’s one of the most powerful moves in sourdough baking. Each lift and tuck layers tension into the dough — building strength, elasticity, and that beautiful open crumb you love. Here’s how to do it: 1️⃣ Wet your hands lightly 💧 2️⃣ Slide both palms under the dough’s center 3️⃣ Lift — let the middle rise until the ends release from the container 4️⃣ Tuck the dough under itself from both sides 5️⃣ Rotate the bowl 90°, repeat ⏳ Do 3–4 sets during bulk (every 30–45

Coil fold - a folding technique used in sourdough making To ensure the sourdough retain it’s volume and the bubbles inside, I always use coil fold as a folding method to reintroduce volume and gluten level of the sourdough. As it is a more gentle way compared to a very commonly used stretch and fold method, that way I can protect the bubbles formed inside the sourdough. Giving me the even crumbs in my final outcome.

🍞 Sourdough Tip: Don’t Skip the Coil Fold! ✨ Want that perfect oven spring and an airy, open crumb? The secret is in the coil fold! This gentle technique, done during bulk fermentation, is essential because it: * 💪 Builds Internal Structure: It strengthens the gluten network without deflating your dough. * 💨 Traps Gas: This helps your dough hold onto the CO2 produced by the starter, leading to a lighter loaf. It’s the easiest way to give your loaf the tension and strength it needs for a beaut

Coil Folding Technique 🥖 Coil folding is a gentle way to strengthen bread dough during bulk fermentation. Instead of stretching, you lift the dough from the center, let it fold onto itself like a coil, and repeat from the other side. ✅ Benefits: - Gradually develops gluten strength - Maintains air bubbles for an open crumb - Works especially well with high-hydration doughs A simple but powerful step that helps your dough hold shape and structure. ❔Have you ever tried coil folding in your baking

✨ Let’s talk about COIL FOLDS! ✨ If you’re elbow-deep in sourdough, you’ve probably heard of this technique. But what are coil folds, and why do we do them? Let’s break it down 👇 What are coil folds? It’s a gentle way to strengthen your dough during bulk fermentation. Instead of kneading (bye, sore arms!), you lift the dough from the middle, let it fold under itself, and repeat on each side. Think of it as tucking your dough in for a cozy nap. 💤 Why do we do them? Coil folds build gluten struc

Coil Folds 101🌾 I only do stretch and folds for my first round and then I do three rounds of coil folds. It’s way more gentle on your dough and helps to keep those beautiful gas bubbles undisturbed for a more open, airy crumb. Coil folds are great for high-hydration doughs too because they build strength without tearing the gluten. Let me know if you try it out and if you see a difference in your bread!❤️ #sourdoughforbeginners #sourdoughbread | The Real Sourdough Mom
