Once you are done with the second round of stretch and fold, keep the dough covered for 1 hour.

After one hour do one round of coil fold.
Let the dough rise until about 50% increased in volume.

Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for 8–16 hours for cold fermentation.
