Still need the yeast, Molly! The sourdough starter will add a tangy flavor and if it is healthy and fed it may also make it rise slightly more, but as the dough rests in the fridge for multiple days the wild yeast will lose its "umph." To ensure that your bread has a nice lofty oven-spring when you finally do bake it, be sure to also add the yeast called for in the recipe. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
