Hi Alison! The time it takes for that final rise before baking can vary depending on the vigor of your starter and the temperature at which the dough is being held. Generally speaking, 60-120 minutes of rise may be enough (especially if you used a bit of yeast), but if your kitchen is cooler, that time may be closer to 2 or 3 hours. You'll want to keep an eye on the visual cues of the bread. When you poke the dough with your finger, the indent should fill in slowly — this is how you’ll know it’s ready to go into the oven. Happy Baking!
