if anyone remembers me from my starter struggles post, I FINALLY HAVE A SUCCESSFUL LOAF. Jokes on me creating an active starter was the easy part I just had no patience and my ratios were off. I could not for the life of my get a successful loaf. I went thru 15 pounds of organic King Arthur bread flour but thru a bunch of tears and gummy loafs, overproofed monstrosities, or loafs that didn’t rise I can proudly say I finally have a loaf I can be proud of!

congrats!! looks delish
That looks beautiful! Great job ❤️❤️❤️
Yaaayyy!!! Congratulations!!! Honestly I had no idea this was going to be so hard! I’m working with a different flour and the despair is SO real!
Beautiful! FYI people usually slice the opposite direction you did, I presume to get the full variation of crust in each slice. Cut into the ear and every piece has a bit.
Look at that ear!!! Nice job!!
