400g = 14.10oz

300g water = 300ml, or 1 &1/4 cups.

Only way to know is to try, but bearing in mind that:

Salt affects dough texture, making it stronger and less sticky

Salt reduces oxidation of the dough during mixing. Oxidation causes the
degradation of carotenoid pigments in the flour that contribute to
flavor and crumb color.

Salt regulates yeast activity, causing fermentation to progress at a
more consistent rate.

Salt affects shelf life. Because it attracts water, it can help keep
bread from staling too quickly in a dry environment. However, in a humid
environment, it can make the crust soggier.

Just bite off more than you can chew,

Oh let's not even go there. Nothing is ever as simple as 12 inches equals
one foot in cooking. There's high altitude, sea level. Arizona dry or swamp
soggy. No end of flour descriptions and composition. No need to get
snarky. Be kind. great-grandmother Polly

Here's the best converion site I've found. Converts weight/volume and
is density specific for different ingredients like flour and
shortening:

Just remember that 14.10 ounce measurement is weight, not volume.

Maybe, but a US teaspoon is different to a UK teaspoon.

It's not weight that is important but mass.

They've been standardised on both sides of the Atlantic, at 5ml.
Even the inch is now the same.
Fluid ounces are still different, though.

It was useful to compromise at 1 inch being 2.54 cm exactly that the US
inch was 2.540005 cm and the British inch 2.539998 cm.

Are you kidding? This is why so many people believe women and girls are
"math-challenged".
