Hi all!
This was my very first loaf (now I have 2 more bulk fermenting as I create this post. I’m hooked haha)
How did I do? What do you think I can improve on. Any tips/tricks?
This one was made using:
100g starter
500g KA bread flour
350g water
12g salt
I really want to make a whole wheat one (preferably 100% whole wheat) so any tips for that is appreciated as well!
TIA!

Very good. Keep it up.
👌
That looks so beautifully tasty! 👍 I want a big slice of that gorgeous loaf toasted with buttah!!!
That crumb is flawless!!
Gorgeous
Great job!
Fabulous!
I have to agree and say that crumb is flawless! I find it difficult to believe that that could be anyone’s first loaf. Very, very impressed.
I feel like i’m getting ragebaited by all these incredible first loaves 😹😹 Mine looked nothing like that
That’s a wonderful loaf! And the fact that was your first one is incredible! Excellent work
100% better than mine!
Can I have some?
That is fantastic! Let’s just say I called all my first loaves betty’s bread bricks (starter is named Betty)😂
You did great!!
Not bad for a first try. My first loaf was only slightly better.
(for real you killed it though 👌)

Beautiful crumb and toast! Keep doing whatever you’re doing
Fantastic!!! Looks lovely, and delicious!
Can I have more details of your recipe??
This is the bread version of scammers sending thirst trap photos “to the wrong phone number” right? Congrats OP. Great loaf. 100% whole wheat is unusual as it can be hard to balance structure, taste, shaping. If I were you, and I clearly don’t babe as well as you do so ignore me, I’d sneak up on a percentage that you like. Start with 20-30% ww and go on from there. Bonus you get to eat all of your test loaves!
Beautiful loaf
Your loaf makes me want to quit baking. I’ve been doing this infuriating hobby for about a year now and my loaves look half as good as yours.
Why did I think it was small?
Well, ya eat it
Am I the only one who thinks these are two different loaves?
Not being a hater, more power to ya and anyone who gets great bakes right away.. just they really don’t look the same to my, admittedly over-the-hill, eyes.
Edit: Not to be a conspiracy theorist but the cutting board looks different too.. perhaps it’s just flipped over though.
Well done
It be OK!
That looks really delicious.
My first one was like this my 2nd was a disaster lol my 3rd which i just made this morning was perfection! Great job!
