I just put a loaf of #sourdough bread that I've been working on all day in the oven. Just realized that I forgot the salt.

I've made this mistake once before. It'll still be edible, but damn it makes me angry with myself.

this can happen to everyone. I weigh all dry ingredients and mark as added

@sour.dough.hk I measure by weight, bit the recipe's so simple it didn't even occur to me to make a checklist. The whole thing has four (arguably three) ingredients in total.

@MKH better to forget the salt, than forget the yeast (as I have done) 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Joseph A di Paolantonio @sour.dough.hk No yeast in this recipe (well there's technically yeast in the starter), but it's the first ingredient, so hard to forget.

Well, the final result looks good, at least.

Were it not for the mistake, this might've been the best loaf I've made so far. The starter really seems to be maturing well.

I do that - I’ve taken to weighing out the salt at the same time as the other ingredients and putting it in cup on top of the bowl while the flour autolyses. That means I HAVE to move it before kneading. That _generally_ works…
Mixing bowl with lid and small cup of salt on top as a reminder.
