Sorry its been a while since my last post. I've been busy with studying for a professional certification for my day-job. I wish it were baking related but it's not.
My only tip for the winter baker is to ensure your sourdough starter stays warm overnight (at least 68 degrees). I've noticed my rise-times have extended since my house gets cold at night. A good trick my mom taught me is to put the starter someplace odd, like an interior bathroom. A fellow baker friend of mine says he likes to use his dishwasher. Whatever works for you, just keep the sourdough warm :)
I also recommend trying a few good cookie recipes in-between baking bread (more on that later).
Cheers & Happy Holidays!
