    The dough size proposed in the recipe is too big for my needs, I would like to make 1/3 of it. However, the chef in the video mentions that the recipe is not linear. What would be the right proportions to make a smaller size of the dough?

      Hi, You gave me the original measurements divided by 4. So the recipe IS actually linear, unlike what the chef said in the instructions video, is that correct?

    Hi, @alinalandau1010gmail-com

    What do you mean by a linear recipe?

      On 1:58 of the white dough recipe the chef explains that the dough behaves differently when scaled up or down. That’s how I understood it.

    Hi, @alinalandau1010gmail-com

    As the chef explains, the recipe is not linear, he explains that the first fermentation is in a block and what I understand is that care must be taken with the fermentation temperature so as not to go too fast, so when the recipe is increased or reduced in scale, the You must take these points into consideration.

    As the chef advises, you should take note of all the changes that occur until you know the dough, from the temperature of the flour to the room temperature. Only that will be the way to buy the changes and know your mass

    We hope this information is helpful.
