Yeast and Salt: In Search of Advice
I've been working through my KA Whole Grain Baking cookbook and I've noticed that most of the yeast bread recipes say to simply combine all ingredients and then proceed with kneading. I remember from "The Bread Bible" something about how yeast and salt are not on friendly terms and shouldn't come into direct contact with each other. The salt was always added after or during the kneading process. Is this correct?
I ask because I've noticed all of the KA recipes take soooooo long to rise and I am measuring by weight and really doing nothing incorrect, so I can't think of anything that could be the cause.
Thanks
