I've been experiementing with many bread recipes since May, 2011. My breads are coming out tasty, and very nutritious (!!!), but when slicing, falls apart.

I could using some advice on how to adjust my recipes so my bread will slice better without falling apart. I like to have lots of fruit (and sometimes Yams or Nuts). What should I change to get a bread mix that will hold together better for slicing ... ???

Here are the last two recipes I baked up (five bread pans each):

*** First Batch with no Bananas

1) 1 cup Corn Meal

Kosher Salt and Lack of Flavour

Could using kosher salt be the reason my breads have tended to be on the flavourless side of late?

The recent Larraburra loaf being just one failure, several others since then have too been underwhelming. 

I recently started using kosher salt and wonder if that could be a/the cause.

If recipe calls for 2 teaspoons salt, I use 2 teaspoons. Should I be using 3 or 4 of kosher?
