I'm baking the loaf on a flat warmed baking tray, just sprinkled with a little flour. I tried giving this one an extra hour or so to prove, but I just don't think my house is warm enough to get the right conditions for it to rise. Ordinary loaves I've proved by using my oven (warmed but switched off) as a proving drawer. I'll give it one more go next week, but in the meantime my cornershop has got some dried yeast back in stock :-)

I follow Bake with Jack's recipe (https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/videos/2019/6/6/bread-tip-101-beginners-sourdough-loaf-start-to-finish). It takes a bit of planning because it goes like this:

Day 1: Take starter from fridge the day before you make the dough. Feed and leave out overnight.
Day 2: make dough and do a series of stretches and folds. Each of these takes less than five mins, so not time-consuming, but you leave an hour or two between each one. I tend to make the dough around midday and do the final shape early evening. Then prove overnight in the fridge. Dough will rise whatever the temperature, it just takes longer if it's cooler
Day 3: whack into a super hot oven (230+), bake super hot for half an hour then turn it down to 190 for another 20 minutes or so.
