Caroline said...: I've got a question about bread. So I have a sourdough starter (the poor thing has been neglected far too much of late though :( but anyways), I usually do a couple of "builds", but I always end up putting in too little or too much salt, because I just make the bread until it is the right consistancy. I just know what it should feel like, but I don't know how much salt to add! Is there a way to do that for us instinct bakers? Thanks :D
