About Enriched Doughs
Butter and eggs slow yeast down, which is why enriched sourdough takes patience. A dough with a lot of fat can take noticeably longer to rise than a lean one, and a cool kitchen stretches that further. The recipes here give grams and the dough temperature to aim for, plus a visual cue so you are not guessing from the clock alone. In a South Florida kitchen butter softens fast, so chill the dough if it turns greasy while you shape it. Plan the bake the day before you want to serve it.
