Rant: Why didn't anyone tell me about salt in bread dough?
Been baking for 3 years and skipped salt the whole time. Thought it was optional. Made a loaf for a friend last week and she asked if my bread was "flat tasting." Ordered a kitchen scale that same night. Anybody else skip a basic ingredient for way too long?

Three years and nobody said anything?" That's wild but I get it. Did you ever notice how flat your dough felt when you handled it? I'm asking because I made the opposite mistake - I doubled the salt once by accident and the yeast barely did anything. The whole loaf came out like a brick. Curious what finally made you think "maybe I should add that white stuff in the recipe.

Solidarity, friend. That's rough, but hey at least you finally cracked the code, right?

Did you ever forget to put sugar in cookie dough and wonder why they looked weird?
