Do you grind your sea salt finer for baking?

[kmama]

Does it mess up the recipe if you don't?

If you do, how?

I have tried a salt grinder but it seems to get gobbed up with the celtic sea salt and/or if it is metal, it starts to corrode. I also use a mortar and pestle sometimes, but it is more time consuming. I just have a tiny one, though, so maybe a bigger one is the answer. What I'd really like to hear is that it doesn't make any difference!! But I don't want chunks of salt in my baked goods.

TIA

I use Trader Joes sea salt...it's already ground up fine. I also recommend a mortar and pestle for grinding all sorts of things, including salt.

Radiant Life sells both a ceramic grinder specifically for Celtic sea salt, and they also sell the finely ground salt, which is what I use.

I ground some of mine in a coffee bean grinder. It worked well and hasn't rusted....
