First time making bread, how did I do?

The crumb looks good so the dough was made well but the shaping could use a bit of work otherwise as long as it tasted good I’d count this as a sucess especially for a first time
Yum, I’m sure that tastes great – welcome to the journey!
Beautiful crumb for a first-time bake!
Looks delicious
A refreshingly legit “first time” post for a change!
Like a 3/10? Better than my first attempt
I think you did great, if you add some sugar it will make the yeast react and create more co2 which will make it fluffier. Also a little fat goes a long way, and you can use oil, shortening, butter, yak milk..you get the idea. How did it taste? Did it need anything? Less salt? More?
5 min baguette?
