    tbf having a giant restaurant grade mixer with a dough hook is doing a lot of lifting here, this dough also gets really slack if I don’t mix it right or use too much AP. Had one batch go completely gloopy because my starter was old, way too sour to develop gluten

    Thank you! Right now I’m doing a quick autolyse and then a quick saltolyse (?), around 10-15 min each, I’ve tried with a longer autolyse where I mix it at the same time I’m making the levain, but couldn’t see a big difference. Keeping some water back and dissolving the salt in that before mixing helps with the distribution a lot. Gluten development is not a problem right now, I actually had to cut back on the Manitoba flour, replacing a third with AP because it was getting too tight.
