THE NO SALT LOWEST SODIUM BAKING BOOK — UPDATES — SUGGESTED CHANGES

Important Message: You can get pure ascorbic acid for breadmaking from from The King Arthur Catalog at KingArthurFlour.com. Diabetics (and everyone else) you can use this instead of Ever Fresh. Just takes a 1/4 teaspoon instead of the measurement given in each bread recipe.

Page: 76: Banana Bread Featherweight requires that you mix it into the batter just before placing into the oven. If this doesn't work out for you, then replace Featherweight with the newer Ener-g Baking Powder. Ener-g is double acting while Featherweight begins to act the moment it gets wet. This has caused a few failures with this recipe. May also replace honey with extra virgin olive oil (keep the two tablespoons of oil as well our use 1/3 cup total). May use smaller loaf pan as well. Bake at 350° F for 50 minutes to 65 minutes or until toothpick stuck down center of loaf tests dry. Non yeast breads are difficult without strong leavening agents. You can replace the substitute baking powder with one teaspoon of standard baking powder. This will make each serving around 35 mg of sodium and still no salt.

Page: 83: English Muffin Bread: Recipe makes 2-loaves. The error is in the header where it states "Makes 1 Loaf." Instructions are correct.

Page 138: Blueberry Bran Muffins: Add 1/2 cup homemade applesauce (.089 mg) (Use Quick Applesauce recipe in The No Salt, Lowest Sodium Cookbook.)

Add 1 level tablespoon Ener-G Baking soda.

Stir Featherweight into mix just before putting into muffin cups and the oven.

This is a high-fiber muffin. It won't rise much in the oven. A quarter-cup measuring cup can be used to fill each muffin cup.

Place into oven as quickly as you can.

Nutrient data per ingredient is now different (2009) since the latest USDA changes. Per Recipe: 99 mg sodium. Per Muffin: 8.31 mg with one egg white, 14 mg with two egg whites.

I've been known to make this recipe with two egg whites if the batter felt like it needed it. Batter doesn't want to be too wet, but with flaxseed it might feel too dry. Depends on wetness of applsauce as well. If you use oil instead of applesauce you'll need only one egg.

Page 167: Almond Incredibles:
The word "almonds" in the instructions does not belong there.

That's a printer's error.

The egg white and brown sugar (no paste) mixture is spread over the first layer per instructions. After spreading is when you bake them.

The publisher has taken a license here and it certainly is confusing. The third paragraph where it says Fold the brown sugar and almond paste into the egg white gradually is a mistake. The almond paste is already at the bottom of the pan and would be nearly impossible to mix into an egg white.

Instead, you will beat the eggs with the cream of tartar and fold in the brown sugar and spread that over the "paste mix" already in the pan.
