Salted butter has about 1/4 teaspoon of salt per 1/2 cup of butter, so if the recipe calls for unsalted butter and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, you can omit the added salt. If the recipe calls for more or less salt, adjust accordingly. Keep in mind that using salted butter may result in a slightly different taste and texture of the final product.

In either case, it’s best to discard the dough and start over to avoid any potential health risks.
