Refreshed overnight, it was at full strength, and did a great job raising these little boules, the basic pain de campagne from Local Breads. This, at least in this incarnation, is a soft-textured sandwich bread, with surprising lightness for a sourdough raised loaf (at least one of mine). It should probably have been wetter (I think I'm buying very absorbent wheat flour) but it was a pleasure to revive not only the starter but the process, and get back to baking.
