It doesn't sound too promising, how is it going now?.   Is this the dough you may have to leave for up to six or eight hours to rise?

I am doing nothing. Until I hear from chookie!!! I am whimping out.

Just waiting and looking at it hoping it will rise. 

No harm in leaving it sit I guess?

OK. . Gert ,  just leave it in a very warm place.  It could take  hours. keep it moist.  the good thing is the longer it sits the better the flavour.  Cover it with a shower cap or plastic.  Don't cook until it has doubled.

I have now taken a measure of the height so I can see if  it is rising but it has been sitting since 0800 and it is about 28 here.

CGert, it is actually active as it has spread out in the tin..  I would leave it out over night,  in a cook place. Could put it in the fridge,  but then you will have to wait,  probably until tomorrow afternoon ,  before you can bake it.

I have just bought my second starter in, I hope it didn't get too cold tonight,  I'm really hoping that this time it will work but reading Gert's post I'm not sure I can go through with all the drama.  If it rises Gert are you really going to EAT your little pet.?

I need a prince to wake Sleeping BeUty up!!!!!

I will leave it out overnight. It will be cool enough. Should get down to 15 or 16 in the house.

I am starting to feel like you Aussie Brenda. I did not realise how temperamental these 'Pets' are...I want to see how the others go before starting my project.
