to a lot of cold storage, adapting your
dough could be an advantage. Bulk
fermentation is a great tool that can
be used when conditions are not ideal.
Although some advance planning may
be needed, bulk fermentation is a great
technique when there is not a lot of
storage on hand. Before the event you
would want to make your dough, and
instead of scaling out your portions
and forming balls the same day, you
would place a large portion of your
finished dough into large containers and either leave them out in cool
areas, so they rise slowly or refrigerate.
This bulk dough could be left for a
day or so in its container until the day
of the event. On the day of the event,
you would punch it down and then
form the dough into balls. Whether
in dough boxes or on sheet pans and a
speed rack, the dough would then sit

out at room temperature until ready
to use.
Optimally you would want to portion your balls in the morning in
anticipation of cooking them later in
the afternoon or evening. If it is going
to be extremely hot, this rising process will happen sooner in which you
would wait to ball your dough till late
morning. Bulk fermenting your dough
is a great method to learn for those
events where conditions are tricky. You
have more control over the fermentation process and can decide when to
ball your dough depending on weather
conditions that day.
Lowering your yeast percentage is
another way to ensure your dough will
not blow up on you on a hot day. Yeast
is more active in a warm environment, and if there is too much yeast
in a batch on a hot day, there is a pos-

sibility of the yeast consuming all the
sugars in the dough before you use it.
This would end up as blown dough
and something that will not color well
in the oven or rise. Normally bulk
fermentation is done without the use
of a starter as the end goal is the same,
to create flavor and structure. If you
choose to go the route of bulk fermentation, omitting the starter is best.
All in all, off-site events can be
fun and a great way to expand your
company's presence but can also be
stressful and overwhelming. Keeping
these tips and tricks in mind will help
smooth out any bumps and hurdles
you may encounter along the way. n
