\section{Should I autolyse my dough?}
In 95 percent of all cases, an autolysis
makes no sense. Instead I recommend
that you conduct a fermentolysis. You
can read more about the autolysis process in
section \ref{section:autolysis} and
more about the topic of fermentolysis
in section \ref{section:fermentolysis}.
The fermentolysis combines all the benefits
of the autolysis while eliminating disadvantages
such as having to knead the dough multiple times.
The autolysis only makes sense when you might
bake a fast fermenting yeast-based dough with a
high yeast inoculation rate. But even in that
case you could just lower the amount of yeast
to fermentolyse rather than autolyse.
