I confined my sourdough starter to two weeks of cold isolation in the fridge. So what would be the result when I tried to bake a loaf with it without feeding it for 14 days?
This was an interesting experiment and I'll certainly take advantage of keeping an active starter in the fridge for a couple of days before using it to bake. Leaving the starter for 14 days is a little excessive, but it does go to show that we don't need to worry quite so much, with a good feed of flour and a little patience the fermentations soon get going again.
