Thank you for this post! I fed my sourdough starter and it was active hours earlier than I expected. I had to do my bulk rise during the day instead of overnight and it didn't finish until close to bedtime. I followed your instructions for refrigerating a sandwich loaf during the second rise. In the morning it had puffed beautifully; I scored it (way easier cold!) and let it sit on the counter while the oven came to temperature. It tastes fantastic and I feel way more empowered to try sourdough baking on days when I haven't cleared my whole schedule. ;)
