Using Starter Straight From Fridge
Hey all. I know that typically one would refresh a sourdough starter when it has been in the fridge for a while, however, can you use the starter (in this case rye starter) straight from fridge if need be? This one in particular was placed in fridge 3 hours after its last feeding, and was healthy at the time of refridgeration a week ago.
I am making Hamelman's 5 Grain (Non-Levain) but was itching to use the rye starter. I put a few tsp of the starter straight from the fridge into room temp/warm water, then added this to the final dough build, which included some active dry yeast.
Will it produce any effect on the dough at all?
