Why no Autolyze? What happens if?

So, I am asking why as I am trying. Why not autolyze and then add salt and fillings? Less what happens if and more why does it happen if you do it that way?

You can certainly autolyse this dough (I'd probably do 20-30m). If you do, you'll find you might need less mixing time to strengthen the dough. I would still wait to add the mix-ins until bulk fermentation, but that's a personal preference, really. You can add them at the end of mixing as well!
