Hi,

Does anyone have experience making whole wheat bread without salt?

I've made ordinary white bread in the past and had no problems. However I
recently tried making no salt whole wheat bread by modifying the recipe on
the back of the king arthur flour package.


3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups water
1 envelope yeast.

I'm not including salt or sweetener.

Don't copy this recipe. ....



Hi,

For those interested I have an update on the no salt, no sweetener whole
wheat bread...

I found that using king arthur white whole wheat flour works. White whole
wheat flour is also whole wheat but it is made from a different strain of
wheat so it is lighter in color. In the final recipe I used 2 tbsps of oil,
and 1 tsp of yeast, 15 oz flour by weight, and 1/4 cup powdered milk, 1 1/3
cups water, no salt, no sweetener. Knead, form loaf, let rise in pan. Bake
40 minutes at 350 degrees. I assume two rises will work okay too, but
haven't tried it yet.

I also found the 100% whole wheat flour works with these ingredients in
no-knead recipes (using 1 1/2 cups water). It doesn't rise much in the oven
but doesn't sink as it did when I tried the kneaded recipes. Mix the
ingredients in a bowl, let rise. Mix again 25 strokes, transfer to pan ,
allow to rise, bake 47.5 minutes at 400 degrees.
