1. 1

   Don't reduce the salt in a recipe. It is needed not just for flavor, but to regulate the yeast.

2. 2

   Use small loaf pans (8 1/2" x 4 1/2") for high rounded loaves. Baked in larger pans, the shape and texture will be disappointing. If you only have large pans, make a bigger batch using 7 or 8 cups of flour. Do not use glass pans: temperatures will need to be adjusted; you will get burnt crusts and underdone insides and, if the bread sticks (and it will) you will have a miserable time trying to get it out of the unyielding pan.
