First sourdough loaf!

Hello all! I am so excited to be joining the world of sourdough. I was very intimidated by it and felt like I couldn’t possibly follow the steps involved or keep a starter alive. I was lucky enough to be given a starter by a friend and just made my first loaf today! The link at the end of this text is the recipe I used, the only difference is I didn’t follow the placing the dough in the fridge portion. I let it do its thing with the fermentation bulk for about 2 1/2 hours shooting for the 50% growth she mentioned in the article.
