Hello! First loaf… how does it look?


Hello! I made my starter last week and this is the first loaf I made.
I used this recipe:
100g starter, 375g warm water and 500g bread flour.
Mixed dough, 2 sets of stretch and fold, 8 hr bulk ferment, shaping, 24 hrs in fridge. Cooking in Dutch oven at gas mark 8 for 30 mins covered and mark 6 for 10m uncovered. 1hr cooling

What could be improved by the looks of it. Thanks! 🥰

    I would’ve been delighted if my first loaf looked like that.

    I mean, I guess you could work on your scoring technique and introduce some steam in the first part of your bake to get more oven spring. But I’m kind of nit picking tbh, this is a great looking loaf and you should be really proud! How’s the flavor and texture?

    Job well done. I agree with Gary regarding the introduction of steam at the very early part of the baking. That could help with the oven spring and possibly developing an “ear”.

    Very well done.
