Salt | Salt is necessary to balance flavor in breads |
| and cakes; it also limits growth of yeast. Do not |
| increase or decrease amount of salt shown in |
| recipes. |
Sugar | Sugar is important for color and flavor of |
| breads. It also serves as food for yeast since it |
| the supports fermentation process. Recipes in |
| this book that call for sugar require granulated |
| sugar. |
| Important: Do not substitute powdered sugar. |
| Artificial sweeteners cannot be used as |
| substitute, as yeast will not react properly with |
| them. |
