Use the stretch and fold method to deflate dough and redistribute its yeast. Watch our tip video to see how it’s done, and check out how the finished dough should look. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough in half. Working with one piece at a time, stretch one side of the dough outwards, then fold into the center. Repeat three times, so you’ve stretched all four sides of the dough. Repeat with the remaining piece of dough. Continue as directed in your recipe.
