^ I've just used my starter for the first time and it doesn't look like my bread as risen very well. I don't think it should have as I'm making Focaccia but anyway I think its because I used it straight from the fridge.

Should I remove the yeast from the fridge for a few hours before mixing to allow it to 'wake up'?

It does help to do that but the secret to sourdough us to go slow. Sometimes you need to prove your dough for 12 hours plus to get a good result.

Also, sometimes a dough looks like it won't rise but will go nuts in the oven.

Perfect thanks, I mixed the dough last night, covered and refrigerated. Don't think i Kneaded it enough either.

Will update with results Mid-day.
