- docking is a form of slashing. Docking is poking holes in the dough weakening areas as a means to stop large air pockets from forming while baking. If a rye dough is docked too late (like scoring with any over-proofed dough) the gasses do escape and a compacted loaf is guaranteed. The trick is to dock before the dough is over-proofed. Docking helps prevent the baker's bedroom or super large bubbles forming just under the crust where gas can amass and lift off the already set top crust.

What Is Cross-Docking? Instead of a long-haul driver back tracking when making local deliveries, an over-the-road truck unloads, re-shuffles or re-organizes the load at a local warehouse maximizing driver productivity. Instead of cargo being delivered to a warehouse, an inbound truck unloads goods, and transfers them to an outbound truck. Simply put, goods are transferred from one form of transportation to another in a docking terminal, skipping their costly warehouse stay. Thus the name cross docking, as cargo is transfered across the docking terminal. Operations may utilize staging areas for inbound materials, typically spending between an hour to less than 24 hours at a facility. Thus inventory holding is minimized.
