Temperature matters. I often refer to temperature as the accelerator in the car (i.e you know the number of miles you need to drive, but how quickly you get there depends on how fast you drive). Often you will hear the acronym DDT (Desired Dough Temperature). This is the temperature needed for optimal fermentation during the bulk ferment.
