Bev in TX asked if the Miracle Boule 
https://bread-bakers.com/msgs/v118n025/msg00003.html can be made 
without salt. The answer is yes and no. Salt retards the action of 
yeast and leaving it out will make the dough rise too fast. You could 
try replacing some or all of the sodium chloride with potassium chloride.

A different and probably better method is to use cold to retard the 
fermentation. After allowing the dough to rise for a few hours at 
room temperature, place in the the refrigerator overnight. Look at 
https://bread-bakers.com/msgs/v118n001/msg00001.html which comes from 
"The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day". This bread can be made 
with no salt - see the author's website https://artisanbreadinfive.com/

These websites have good information about no-knead bread and salt in bread:
