No-Salt Whole-Wheat Bread

"I am on a salt-free diet now and have been baking bread at home for some time. I use a Beko bread machine for kneading the dough, and oven-bake it later. I tried out several combinations. This is my favourite."

Questions & Replies

  1. Doesn't milk contain sodium though? So, technically this isn't salt free bread?
     
  2. I do not understand these measurements under the US units. For example, what is .88 lb whole wheat flour, OR what is .01 lb active dry yeast? Thank you in advance.
