Sounds OK,  but might be over the top of tin when you get home.   Do you have a cool spot,  not in fridge ?  If so put it there.  Can move it to warm spot when you get home,  if it hasn't doubled.  Is the one called iris ?

You want a soft bread dough.  Add less starter or more flour in the morning.  While it is kneading in the TMX,  stick you finger in the top hole to feel how it is.  You can always add a bit more flour when you knead it on the silmat.

Sounding good.

Gert the mix ,  in the photo looks perfect.  could take 4/6 hours to rise,  although I doubt this with it so warm.

Leave it to the last moment,  and if it doesn't move,  scrape it our and  add knead in 2 teaspoons of yeast,  dissolved in a little warm water.  Add a bit more flour to make a good bread dough.   It will taste like Sour Dough,  but we know it will have yeast in it.

Good,  if this doesn't work in 30 mins,  do the yeast trick.  If the hot water doesn't work,  then I think the heat has over worked the starter,  and left no lifting power.

Made my first sour dough loaf today left it to rise outside and it was ready to bake 3 1/2 hour later, just waiting for it to cool so I can taste.

 
The dough stuck to the plastic so the top isn't smooth

Baked
