Hi Dawn, while this "wait and see" approach when using starter straight from the refrigerator might work out okay for your recipe if you give it plenty of time to rise, I'd suggest giving it a feeding and letting the starter double in size before adding it to your recipe in this case. I find the unpredictable timing can be challenging, particularly if you're relatively new to sourdough baking.
