This is my first attempt at making bread other than pancakes. I just made a basic white bread for my first try. I think it came out pretty great and it’s delicious toasted with butter and my homemade black raspberry jam. I can’t wait to try a sourdough next.
Yeah, that’s a lot for bread. Basic bread teachnically doesnt need any at all, there’s literally a book titled “flour water salt yeast”.
even yeast is optional
I just looked it up and you’re right, so then i looked up further - EVEN FLOUR ISN’T A REQUIRED INGREDIENT! AND NEITHER IS WATER!!!
IS BREAD A LIE?!
(Edit - hah a few people here didn’t like me pulling back the veil)
Technically is the salt even needed?
EDIT
Nope. I did a websearch and no, salt is not an essential ingredient in making bread. You’re almost definitely gonna want it, but it’s not actually a requirement.

The best looking bread I ever made, I forgot the salt. I was so disappointed as it looked amazing but tasted completely crap. Couldn’t even finish it.
