Been bulk fermenting for 5 hours now finished all the stretch and pulls, I’m super new to this and am worried about under proofing (It’s 26.5°c).

    That is way overproofed. With the shape of the bowl it has at least tripled in size.

    Hi that dough looks over fermented and over hydrated. As it is i suspect it will not hold t’s shape and retard properly.

    In your place i would use it to do a repeat mix if your recipe butcut back the water by 50 g

    Let it autolyse, stretch and fld as before but don’t bulk ferment so long (3hrs). Shape and proof in fridge overnight. Tomorriq split in to two loafs shape refridgerate one while you cook the other.

    Alternatively:

    Cool rapidly in freezer fir 3/4 hour then refridgerate over night and mske a fresh loaf from scratch. The residue ill stay active in the refrigerator fir several days so make a loaf a day and freeze them .

  5. Don’t be discouraged and don’t throw it away.
    If you have a dutch oven or baking tin just make a loaf in it. It won’t look so pretty but it can taste amazing.

    What on earth will you do with that. For bread it’s over the top in my view.
