Pro Tips for Salt Conversion
🧂
Weight is best: Use 6g per teaspoon of table salt as your baseline if you have a scale
🧂
Taste and adjust: Sea salts vary in mineral content and flavor intensity
🧂
Start conservative: You can always add more salt, but you can't take it back
🧂
Dissolve test: Fine salts incorporate faster than coarse salts in dough
🧂
Storage tip: Keep sea salts in airtight containers to prevent clumping
Happy Baking!
