I am lazy lately, mix in the big KitchenAid with the dough hook a few minutes, stretch and fold maybe twice, over an hour, sometimes not, but always a rest in a clean bowl then a preliminary shaping, bench rest, shape and refrigerate in the baskets to bake the next day. This is getting me a more even crumb than just stretch and fold did. It does continue to develop in the refrigerator, yes, but also makes it much easier to score, and cold dough into hot pan with a lid generates steam that helps it rise.
