Did you perhaps not use enough salt in the dough? Salt regulates yeast and it is important to use the amount in the recipe.

Nope, some ingredients like salt need to be accurate!

If I feed my starter with coffee, will it rise the same, or much much faster?

Coffee cake good. Coffee fudge good. (But use instant coffee to flavor it. ) Coffee bread? Maybe? But coffee in the *baker* while making the bread seems like a good idea. I prefer Irish coffee.

Coffee starter to make cinnamon rolls sounds really good. Maybe I should get back to bed before I find myself wandering into the kitch…

Well, I was right that coffee will kill the yeast in the sourdough starter. Well, suppress it. Kahlúa on the other hand, will kill it. Of course, we talk about our sourdough starter as a living thing, because it is, but it was really funny reading the article on adding stuff to our starter. I was starting to feel like I should be arrested for hurting it.

Okay, back to bed.
