The type of "bread" they are referring to doesn't use yeast. McDonald's buns are basically sweetened dough with air beaten into it. Definitely suggest people eat McDonald's "food" bit by bit if you're into it. Might just put you off.
And, in any case, you don't need to put sugar in for yeast. The best bread has nothing of the sort. Just flour, yeast, salt and water.
I prefer to not include salt in bread, but I add the required daily amount of salt to other kinds of food, where the added salt really improves the taste.
Salt really does improve the flavour of bread. I’m impressed you have got used to bread without salt because it tastes awful to me unless eaten with salty foods.
>> Bread without salt does not taste good at all, unless you’re a highly partisan Tuscan.
Have you personally tried it? I cook for a relative who can't eat salt for health reasons and I make bread for them too, without salt. It tastes from bland to quite-decent=actually, depending on the amount of wholemeal flours I use. For example, 1/3 each of strong white flour, wholemeal wheat and wholemeal dark rye tastes good and smells divine as it bakes.
I think when people say that saltless bread tastes bad they mean plain white bread.
Nah, salt isn't optional. It's totally possible to eat well and enjoy it. In my experience, people who are afraid of salt usually consume tons of hidden salt in things they don't make themselves.
