Too much salt ruins dough -- Bakers convicted with no proof!

Most of you know baking is one of my hobbies - bread especially. Some year ago I was baking large batches of bread (400 loaves at a time) for a local charity. A local hospital was allowing me to use their baking facilities on a Saturday when it was not in use for the hospital. Each batch was usually about 100 lbs of dough. For those familiar with bread baking salt is an important ingredient to control the action of the yeast, but too much can kill the yeast. For some reason in this particular batch I fouled up the quantity of salt and after waiting for over an hour for the dough to rise I realized what I had done. Can you imagine the look on the maintenance man's face as I asked him to help me drag a plastic bag with 100 lbs of dead dough to the dumpster? :(

Lol. Believe it or not George, I usualyy got faced with that situation once every couple of weeks when I worked at the pizza place. We used to make dough in hundred pound batches and, without fail, we'd get busy and someone would start the dough and have to walk away. By the time they got back, they had forgotten how much of what was in there. Even better than hefting it to the dumpster was what it smelled like (and looked like) after being in there after a couple of days in 90 degree weather! Yuck!
Gotta love that yeast smell :lol:
I have 2 words for you guys, Bread Machine!

Dump in the ingredients, turn on, get a drink, watch tv and poof, bread! They even have mixes so the only thing to measure is water.
Crazy domestic people! I bet you iron too, don't you?
I'm sorry; I couldn't help but re-write the title of this thread to something that, ummmm -- punny. But nobody wanted to even boo me for it?
I know Jill doesn't iron :lol:
