Very first time making bread. It's very dense and far from perfect, oddly shaped and very basic, but it's tasty and I'm excited to explore this potentially new hobby.

I followed Homemade Artisan Bread Recipe by Sally's Baking addiction.

    Looks great! It’s all a learning journey. Hard to see at that angle, but I don’t see that it looks super dense.

    You may need to let it rise more. You will learn to follow the dough more and the constraints of the recipe less. Your ambient environment is different from that of the author’s. And different from season to season and sometimes even different from day to day.

    Also, you aren’t going to get soft store-bought type bread unless you use a tangzhong/yudane or Japanese milk bread.

    And down the rabbit hole you go. 😝

    It’s a great place to explore, so many directions to go, and so many knowledgeable people here to help, myself excluded, like you a beginning novice.
