Overnight white bread recipe from FWSY, but the variant that doesn't divide the loaves, as I wanted to try baking a big-ass loaf

Problem is, I had fed and fridged my starter like two days ago, so it was inactive and ice cold. Even putting in 1.5× the amount of starter it called for, no dice.

Oh well, not the end of the world, my buddy has chickens that'll love it either way

Sleepy starter could probably have risen the loaf if you gave it a lot longer for bulk fermentation, but maybe then you’re baking it at 3AM.

Fortunately it’s a cheap hobby.
