Seasoning Cooked Grains

A principle of cooking is that whenever two (or more) separate preparations will be combined later, season each one separately so their taste profiles are in balance. In this case, balance the salt intensity of the cooled porridge with that of the main dough.
Try this sensory technique when salting the porridge:
Take a pinch from the main dough and taste it, spreading it around your palate. Properly salted dough tastes slightly salty. Focus on the tip of your tongue and take a mental note of how much tingling or saltiness you feel there.
