Hi all - happy new year [so I'm slow]. Regarding the salt question - I know
what salt is supposed to do, however I used to forget to add it so often that
now I just leave it out - we're quite the salt addicts [with thankfully low
blood pressure!] so I try not to use it when I cook anything - since we add so
much at the table. I'd try just leaving the salt out of your recipes and see
how it works - although I make bread by hand and mixer, so perhaps I'm
unconsciously filling in for the role the salt plays - what to the abm bakers
say? Best for the new year - Cherie
