A very good friend of mine who was the chief cook on a merchant ship for 20 years told me that to make perfect bread, forget the salt you usualy put in, and instead they used to just throw a bucket over the side of the boat and use seawater instead- apparently it has just the right amount of raw salt and minerals in it to make perfect bread-fine tasting that everyone loves,

If you happen to live near a bit of (Clean Sea) try it, otherwise bottle up a five gallon drum next time you visit the seas and take it home with you, especialy to make bread and rolls etc with- its amazing the difference it makes to the flavour,
