The bakery down the street keeps selling under-proofed sourdough.

The crumb is dense and gummy every single time, which tells me they're rushing the bulk ferment to meet demand. Has anyone else had to explain to a customer why proper proofing matters more than a fast turnaround?

Yeah, I just tell them a rushed loaf is always a gummy loaf, it's not worth the trade-off.

Used to rush it until @butler.brian changed my mind.
