Did You Know...

Salt adds flavor to baked goods, and it has yet another role in bread baking. Salt helps control yeast growth, preventing the bread from rising too high. This is especially important in sweet breads, such as this one, that contain plenty of sugar for the yeast to feed on.

Substitution

You won’t have a turtle anymore, but sliced almonds make a yummy stand-in for the chopped pecans.
