Left it to autolyse for an hour. Added salt then left in airing cupboard for an hour. Forgot to add starter so added that. Then accidentally left the dough in the cupboard overnight. Knocked it back this morning. Left to rise on the counter top and then baked.
Any opinions on how this worked when it should have died

Sourdough is slower acting than packet yeast so microbial activity will continue for longer, allowing you time to realise your mistake and recover with a fine specimen of a loaf! Tell anyone who asks it was all part of the process 😉
My best loaf so far happened by accident.
