Salt is a flavor enhancer. You do not need much!

I actually knew that but was wondering if there was another hidden virtue. I made some pumpkin sourdough muffins to take to our get together and forgot to put the salt in but they still tasted good.

I kept making sd pumpkin bread. I liked it enough to do it more than once, but decided it wasn’t worth making anymore. Are your muffins a ten, or a six/seven as I found my bread?

It depends which type of flour you are using. If you use self raising flour, it already has the salt in it.

I usually use salted butter as the shortening but this time I used oil and all purpose flour. They still came out good and very tasty. I kept a few for us.

They may not be a 10 but even though I forgot the salt they are probably close. I also made sourdough banana bread with salt. I make this when we have left over bananas and it's always a hit.

I have a dishwasher and almost never use it.

I use mine about 4 days a week, depends on how much cooking I do vs leftovers.

Hi all! Happy Thanksgiving I'm jumping right in at the end of this thread, thanks to @N F C for inviting me from BYC's mini hobby contest ... I'll go backward and read from here to get caught up!

I, too, have been bitten by the sourdough bug! So I'll be interested to learn from y'all. I'll tell you that my first starter was a bust. I fed it twice day for ten days then tried to bake with it, but after a WHOLE DAY of following intricate instructions, all I had was a sticky mess. However, I found a great, EASY recipe you can use as early as the next day with great results and good flavor. I'll try to post it tomorrow when I can credit the authors (am on the road today). But here is my result, which I baked yesterday:

Welcome to the thread. Very pretty!

Baked breakfast with my grandfather. He is teaching me a lot about cooking prime rib. He said, "I want to broil the prime rib to create a little bit of crust so it keeps the moisture in for the rest of the cooking "

He is a good chef!

Thanks for the tip Jared. I've never made prime rib before.

Sometimes taking the salt out of a recipe will make it taste a little tinny. Glad it worked out for you.

I use it mostly for veggies and etc. It is our table salt. I have baked with it but it is a bit coarse from costco

I found a bag in the Dollar Store....Pink, Bag ...very attractive one pound $1.00 and it is FINE. You would use it for Sourdough Bread?
