Just a thought...

If you ever get the urge to bake some bread, and think that the recipe you're using is a little too bland, do not just add more salt. Salt is a leavening inhibitor, so the texture of your bread is going to change (for the worse...I mean, for a higher density) when you increase the salt:yeast ratio. Instead of upping the salt, try adding garlic or onion powder to the dough, or a parmesan/basil mix sprinkled over an olive oil rub on the loaves right before you bake them.

I'm about to try out a new bread recipe myself, since I lost my go-to. Can't wait! (Then again, I'll have to wait, since I have a paper to finish. The joys of college...)
Laters!
