did i screw up my bread revolution?

[SPKarenO]

i made it last night and then sat down to watch a movie for the rise period. EXCEPT I forgot to put it in the fridge, so it sat out on the counter all night.
It doubled, at least.
DID I RUIN IT?

It's probably not ruined. Up to five hours, and it'll be just fine. Past that, and you may see effects, but it'll probably still make edible bread.

what kind of effects...cause it was more like 12 hours.
it should just make it more sour right? so if I use it up quickly it shouldn't be a big deal right?

I'm not at all sure. I don't have the book, either. I just know that they said you were all good up to 5 hours, with no change to the usual outcome. And since it's just yeast bread, not meat, it should be fine to cook it, and then just see how it turns out.

I made some one night around 11 pm and meant to 'get back up' to put it in the fridge (:roll yeah like THAT was gonna happen) so it stayed out, oh, 8 hours. I put it in the fridge the next morning and baked it that evening, and it was really good, so I didn't see a problem. :shrug We didn't get sick off of it (my parents and I were the only ones that ate it) and it didn't taste sour at all. It's also around 66 degrees all night long in our kitchen, so maybe that helped, I don't know.

well its about that temp, maybe a little cooler in our house overnight too.
okay, i'm gonna try it and see.

Sourdough is usually kept at warmer than room temp, and never goes in the fridge. It really is not going to go bad until you can see mold and fungus you don't want growing on it.

After I got a sourdough starter going I kept the rest of it in the fridge and took out a bit from the starter to add to the rest. Then I'd add some more flour to the starter and stick it back in the fridge.
