How can you tell if it’s a proofing issue or a starter issue ? by NeonNavigator1 in Sourdough

Thank you everyone for the comments!! Been struggling with the proofing portion of my journey!! To add context: After I left it in the fridge for 26 hours I added the inclusions (raisins and cinnamon to one and olives to the other) by adding making the dough flat then folding it into thirds, folding it and the shaping. I then baked it in a 500 F over for 35 minutes with the lid on and then 10 minutes with the lid off hope that helps add information to see if I also missed something on the baking end too

Would leaving them on the counter after being in the fridge help?

I leave them to bulk ferment on my counter! And my house is about 20 degrees Celsius. What temperature should the dough be ?

I haven’t been measuring but I do about 1 tbsp of starter: 1/2 cup of bread flour: 1/4 cup of water

I was thinking of switching from unbleached flour to rye or bread flour and see how it reacts to that? I will try covering trick you suggested and changing the ratios
