I made my very first loaf today after making my starter from scratch 2 months ago. It is a little bit gummy however, I’m not sure if it needed to cook longer or if I cut it too soon? I waited a little over an hour to cut into it but it was still a bit warm.
150g starter
350g water
500g bread flour
Baked at 450°F with lid on for 25min and lid off another 25

I just did my first loaf too. Did you preheat the pan? Good luck evolving this tasty science experience. It looks great even if it’s gummy!
Side note edit: baked mine at 450F for 35 min covered and 15 min uncovered at 425F.
