Hi Heather, troubleshooting salt-rising bread can be tricky. We asked some of our other bakers who have experience with this, and here's what fellow blogger PJ had to say: "[Salt-rising bread] can be extremely fickle...All I can say is, study the blog carefully, read the recipe carefully, make sure your dough/starter looks like the photos in the blog." Since you have the proofer, we're not completely sure why this isn't working, as temperature is usually the culprit of a failed rise. Perhaps your starter is over-rising and then falling, or there could be too much flour added? Be sure you're either using a scale to measure by weight or measuring like this. If you're still feeling stumped, give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE(2253) so we can troubleshoot further. Kye@KAF
