Sour Dough Thanks sandyut sandyut lol

First off, I don't hate everyone, But I must thank first is Dave sandyut sandyut for the dehydrated starter and the instructions on how to start and jump into the sour dough world. And also been reading all of his and Ricks BGKYSmoker BGKYSmoker and Rich's chopsaw chopsaw posts and others on what and how to do this.

So received the starter from Dave and no tariffs on it this time , so that was good. lol
Followed his instructions and here is the picture run down of what I did.
First I must say I will make the round crusty loaf soon, but I do not have a cast iron Dutch Oven as of now, but soon. And I am more of a soft crust kind of guy, but Mona likes hard so it will be done

IT'S ALIVE, lol

With this recipe I am making it is for sandwich bread and has 160 gr of Honey in it .
So I made a Levain with the starter first , let it rest overnight. Then made the dough recipe and let it proof for 4 hours

Divide in half and roll , place into 1 glass and 1 steel pan just to see if there was a difference, there was not.

Once ready about ( 8 plus hours later ) into the oven

These look and smell fantastic, If I could swear on this site I f*%#ing would,

Now the cut and see the inside, nervous and excited at same time . Not bad one has a little air pocket.

And the taste is great and toasted is out of this world, lots of butter and strawberry jam. Noting else to say. Not bad for the first time. I see pizza dough and rolls coming soon.

So to all the folks that made me follow the rabbit hole, I'm in , Thank You.

Thanks everyone

No going back now and bread is cheaper to make than meat right now.

Thanks Rick for the like and the comment

Thank you very much, that means a lot. They are very moist and I did butter the top as like I mentioned I like a softer crust.

And you are right there is no going back now, lol

Great job David! Your first try and they look so good. Something so satisfying about making sour dough. You are on your way.

Thanks Brian for the like and the comment

Yes not too bad at all. It has been years for me sense I made bread ( yeast )

I always make my own pizza dough, but now will be trying sour dough pizza crust.

But like you said , with this sour dough it even feels better making, longer process but fun and rewarding.
Everyone here has tried it now and say they loved it , but they also like me , ha ha

Looks great David, and I bet your kitchen smelled good.

Point for sure

Air pockets just add character.

Thanks Chris for the like and the comment

OMG yes the house smelt fantastic, it was hard to make everyone wait until it cooled to slice into it.

And yes I am ok with the holes as long as not too many big ones , and this was good
