I’ve been baking with moderate success since January. It finally happened I forgot salt.

I bit into my morning toast and was like …ahhh…ehhh…hmmmm distinct memories of Melba toast from my childhood. Why did my parents serve Melba toast …I think they were following a low sodium diet for high blood pressure but I cannot be sure.

It wasn’t horrible (I use salted butter) but it definitely makes a difference. lol.

    In Florence they bake bread without salt. Some historical reference to what they felt was an unfair tax on salt, apparently changing the recipe was thumbing their noses at the Pope? I forget.

    Bread looks great though!

    Sad but not a drama: in Tuscany local people has been baking saltless “pane sciocco” intentionally for generations 😊
