Bakery salt is a finely ground, food-grade salt specifically processed for use in baking and food preparation. It is characterized by its purity, consistent grain size, and minimal additives to ensure it blends evenly in doughs and batters. Bakery salt enhances flavor, improves dough texture, controls yeast fermentation, and extends the shelf life of baked goods. Due to its fine granules, it dissolves quickly and evenly, making it ideal for commercial and home baking applications.
