Awhile back, my husband had to go on an extremely low sodium diet for awhile, and I experimented with stuff to put in our bread that gave it some taste, and discovered that onion powder helped a bit. There was something else I used, but I forget what now.

I tend to use less salt than that, but so many of us are used to more salt that I put the “proper” amount in. I only use sea salt, the best I can afford. I think it has a more mellow taste, and doesn’t sting as much as regular table salt does... but I have lots of regular salt in storage, just in case!

I have a kitchen scale, but generally revert to habit, and grab my cups... some of us old birds have a hard time switching systems...

Some of the best sea salt I've ever tried is Redmond RealSalt(r). It's pricey though, and for now, I'm stuck with Mortons. Maybe after the next contract comes through I can restock my 'essential luxuries'.

Lots of times, baking recipes are given in 'Baker's %' where the weight of the flour =100% and the other percentages aren't true percentages, but a percentage of the flour weight.

I run about 12 grams of salt for 480 grams of flour, or somewhere around 2.5% of the flour weight.

When I get a chance, and my brain is really working, I'll convert my standard bread recipe to normal kitchen measurements and post it here.
