Can I use starter that has peaked and fallen back down?

It's perfectly fine if your starter has fallen a bit before you get to it! As long as it still looks bubbly and smells pleasant, you can definitely use it. If it seems a bit sluggish, feeding it again and letting it rise for a few more hours can help boost its activity. Remember, every starter is unique, so don't hesitate to experiment and see what works best for yours!

Let’s say your starter had last been fed 48 hours ago. Chances are that your bacteria are very active while the yeast could be dormant. In such a case you can skip feeding your starter before making another dough. Just use a very tiny amount of starter. For 1 kg of flour I would take around 10 g of starter (1 % in terms of baker’s math). If my starter is very young and had just been fed 6 to 8 hours ago I might end up going up to 20 % of starter. As mentioned earlier, remember that your dough is nothing else other than a big starter. It will tremendously help you to figure out your best next steps.
