I prefer unsalted butter with this recipe and the salt may be slightly reduced. This recipe is typical of many Southern bread recipes in that an overabundance of salt is listed. In many of these recipes I cut the salt in half and have more than an adequate amount. I love lots of salt even though I can no longer eat it. :(
