Imagine this: you’ve got a beautiful bubbly starter, you’re ready to make the dough, and everything is set for an overnight rise.
Easy, right?
You’ve followed the recipe to a T! Nothing could go wrong.
Except, when you wake up the following morning the dough has barely risen at all. Maybe only a few inches. The dough is cold, dense, and sort of lifeless (just like your mood).
What gives? Why won’t your sourdough rise?…
