Underproofed
Definition
When dough hasn't fermented long enough. The yeast hasn't produced enough gas, resulting in dense bread with poor oven spring. When you do the poke test, the dough springs back very quickly.
Henry's Tips
- •Underproofing is better than overproofing. You can always give it 30 more minutes, but you can't undo overproofing.
