My bakery internship in Boston taught me that letting sourdough overproof is sometimes the right move, which goes against everything I was told.

After a batch of loaves I accidentally left for 18 hours at the bakery turned out with a flavor and crumb we couldn't replicate on schedule, I now intentionally push my home ferments way past the standard window. Anyone else find that a 'fail' time actually gave you a better result?

Totally get that feeling of a happy accident. Some of my best bakes came from forgetting a dough in the fridge for days. It's cool how the rules aren't always set in stone.
