LOW-SALT WHITE BREAD
This is a good recipe for low-salt white bread. Each loaf should make 16 slices, 105 calories per slice. I've found that in most recipes, you can decrease the sugar by 1/3 (i.e., 3 tablespoons would now be 2 tablespoons), the salt by 2/3 (1 tablespoon would be 1 teaspoon), and replace the shortening with vegetable oil. Each rising time will be 10-15 minutes shorter.

Steps:
- Mix 3-1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, oil, and yeast in large bowl. Add warm water. Beat on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, to make dough easy to handle.
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl and turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 to 50 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) If you don't have a warm, draft-free place, I find it works well to place covered bowl on a rack in the oven above a pan of warm water.
- Grease 2 loaf pans, 9x5x3 or 8-1/2x4-1/2x2-1/2 inches. Punch down dough and divide in half. Shape each half into loaf, place in pans. Brush loaves lightly with margarine if desired. Cover and let rise in warm place 35 to 40 minutes or until double.
- Place oven rack in low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until loaves are deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped; remove from pans. Brush loaves with margarine if desired. Cool on wire rack.

Tips:
- Use fresh active yeast. Make sure to test its activity by mixing it in a small bowl of warm water with a pinch of sugar. It should foam and bubble after 10 minutes.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make your own. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the bread easier to handle, grease your hands before kneading it.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature is between 75°F and 85°F.
- Bake the bread until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it.
Conclusion:
Low-fat, low-sodium white bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional white bread. Made with buttermilk, egg whites, and honey, this bread is naturally low in fat and sodium. It is also high in fiber and protein, making it a filling and satisfying choice. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or French toast. It is also a great way to use up leftover buttermilk.
