Are you using Jeff and Zoe's recipe? Don't expect it to rise much
between fridge and oven. The rising happens with the ovenspring. Be
sure to slash the loaf just before baking. I've been satisfied with the
spring I get. Note, too, that the authors will respond to your
questions on www.artisanbreadinfive.com. They're local folks and very
nice. And they are teaching in California (at least Zoe is) until July
9.
