Chuck the bowl in the crisper drawer of your fridge. 12 hours is about right for fridge proving. This assumes that your fridge is 6 deg C consistently.

This was the method I tried first and just couldnât get it to work. Way too dense and no lift. Iâve made a lot of pizza and cake in my time so I started treating it like a combination of both of those and it worked fine. Well, it makes a loaf that we enjoy eating anyway.

It never works, its like it goes into the fridge and stops proving all together. Its okay if I want a Frisbee of sourdough, not a loaf. I might be putting it in too early but Iâm happy to benchtop prove for now.

Same goes for me. I just couldnât get it to work or make the kind of loaf that we all can enjoy.
