Unsalted vs salted butter

[cassie]

I am starting to use my bread machine again. Some of the recipes call for unsalted butter. Most of the time all I have is salted butter. Does it really make a difference?

A very minor difference, if that's all you have, use it.
Unsalted butter has a slightly higher butterfat content while salted has slightly more water to butterfat.
It won't matter.

No one but Chef Ramsey would notice the difference - and he wouldn't be caught dead eating bread machine bread ... so you (and all the rest of us ) are safe!

Ramsey might not know it's from a bread machine, if you take the dough out, shape it then bake it.

My hands hurt too much to knead and roll dough.

I love my bread machine!

There are no knead recipes out there. My hubby makes one that he likes a lot.

Huh? How do you mix the flours/dry and liquids?

It's made in a stand mixer.

I have a foccacia bread I make in a mixer, tasty.

I forgot about the mixer ...in the garage. Nice, with many attachments and dough hooks.
I haven't used it in years. Duh
