Do you add salt to bread flour?

You don't add salt to bread flour itself.

Here's why:

* Bread flour is just a type of flour. It's high in protein, which helps create gluten and a chewy texture in bread.

* Salt is added to the bread dough, not the flour directly. Salt plays a crucial role in breadmaking:

* Flavor: Salt enhances the flavor of the bread.

* Gluten development: Salt helps to control the development of gluten, creating a more stable dough.

* Yeast activity: Salt helps to regulate the activity of yeast, preventing it from becoming overly active.

So, you'll add salt to your bread recipe, not to the bread flour itself.
