Improve overfermentation when retarding a dough
This adds retarding to the glossary and adds a note on how the times can be effected when starting with a warmer dough. This fixes #248

\item[\textbf{Retarding:}] The process of slowing down fermentation during the proofing

bakers in scheduling, allowing them to have more control over when to bake their breads,

to early morning customers. While scheduling is the main reason, some bakers also assert

When retarding sourdough (cold proofing in the refrigerator), temperature plays a
|
||||||
|
pivotal role in fermentation rates. As the dough chills in the refrigerator,
|
||||||
|
fermentation decelerates. Starting the retarding process at a warmer
|
||||||
|
temperature means this deceleration takes longer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For instance, a dough that's ideal after 8 hours of retarding might be ready in
|
||||||
|
merely 4 hours if it began at a higher temperature. Thus, it's crucial to
|
||||||
|
experiment and determine the optimal retarding duration for your specific
|
||||||
|
conditions. Conversely, if the dough starts colder, fermentation halts more
|
||||||
|
rapidly in the refrigerator. In such scenarios, allowing the dough to proof at
|
||||||
|
room temperature briefly before refrigerating can be beneficial.
