First time making bread, how did I do? (infosec.pub)

This is my first attempt at making bread other than pancakes. I just made a basic white bread for my first try. I think it came out pretty great and it's delicious toasted with butter and my homemade black raspberry jam. I can't wait to try a sourdough next.

Technically is the salt even needed?

EDIT

Nope. I did a websearch and no, salt is not an essential ingredient in making bread. You're almost definitely gonna want it, but it's not actually a requirement.

The best looking bread I ever made, I forgot the salt. I was so disappointed as it looked amazing but tasted completely crap. Couldn't even finish it.
