Divide and pre-shape

You might say: dividing, scaling, pre-rounding

Dividing bulk dough into pieces scaled to a desired weight, then gently gathering each piece.

What it does
Gives loaves even size and an organised piece for final shaping.
Ask
Are the pieces even in weight and gently rounded?

What to look for

  1. Dough pieces on a scale
  2. Loose rounds resting on the bench
