Just curious as why to use sea salt vs. standard table salt? And is salt even necessary?
I don't put salt in my homemade bread (or many other dishes since most things have enough salt from other ingredients), and I think it tastes fine without it.
I have started using dough enhancer though, and it sounds like the dough enhancer might be needed to work well?
As far as results: I'm not that discerning in the details, and the bread seems just as good as not soaked (I've been soaking for the past month). I've tried this soaked grain homemade bread recipe, another, and my usual (which is very similar to yours).
Today's batch (soaking) is sorta a mix between my regular recipe and another (basically adding in some seeds - flax, millet, sunflower and sesame (the last 2 my own addition). We'll see how it turns out...! :)
Thanks for all the helpful info!!

Why Use Sea Salt In Homemade Bread Recipe?

Great question on sea salt versus table salt for homemade bread.
Well personally, I never bake or prepare my foods with table salt. I always use sea salt. In fact, my favorite sea salt that I use is Celtic Sea Salt. You can buy the Celtic Sea Salt here.
If you choose another sea salt, do your research to make sure it is not totally refined and absent of its trace minerals that are essential to our physiology. Read the label and read about it on-line. I really do believe Celtic Sea Salt is the best sea salt in the market.
Table salt is refined and through the refining process it has lost its companion beneficial minerals, all that is primarily left is sodium chloride - plus silicoaluminate, an anti-caking agent.
Table salts have been linked to various illnesses in the body. Table salt also gives many people the feeling of being bloated. I personally notice I am a bit more bloated when consuming this sodium that is put in canned foods and processed foods.
I do try to avoid or limit those processed foods with the added sodium. In fact, I try to limit all processed foods.

I love the flavor that the Celtic Sea Salt provides. Celtic Sea Salt is more nutritious than table salt, and has exquisite taste. I do not notice any bloating from consuming Celtic Sea Salt. Just great flavoring with beneficial trace minerals.
Since Celtic Sea Salt is not refined, it contains traces of other minerals including iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc, and iodine that support the body.
Start preparing your meals with Celtic Sea Salt and I believe you will definitely taste a difference and feel a difference. And I love using it in my homemade bread recipe too.
If you don't want to put salt in the homemade bread recipe, you certainly don't have to. You can modify it to your particular taste buds. But if you want the best sea salt, buy the Celtic Sea Salt. You will love it.
I have found my bread recipe turns out just fine without the dough enhancer. You can experiment to see what your prefer.
I have also found that the soaked flour bread itself is slightly fluffier and softer - more white bread like than non-soaked bread. Either soaked or non-soaked, the homemade bread recipe is mouth watering delicious. But to be remembered of course, with the soaking of your flour you will have those extra soaked grain health benefits.
You sound really creative with your bread making - even adding seeds such as flax, millet, and sunflower! I would love for you to post a picture of your soaked homemade bread with the added seeds. Yes, you can share your recipe too if you would like.
Thank you for your great question Julie! And sorry for the delayed response, as things have been a bit busy here.
