Slap and fold
A method of fully incorporating ingredients and building gluten strength at the beginning of the bulk fermentation. Slapping and folding dough involves smacking the dough on a countertop, folding it over itself, turning it 90°, and repeating. It’s usually done on wetter doughs like ciabatta and brioche, if a stand mixer isn’t available.
