Bloomers, loafs, flatbreads, rye breads, wheat breads, sourdough breads, yeast breads - all fermented breads are welcome! Vienesse pastries like croissants are also welcome because technically they're breads too.

Just found this community and I'm so excited! Here are my loaves from 2 weeks ago - my second attempt at sourdough and I'm pretty pleased. I've lazily been feeding a starter for a year but finally worked up the gumption to use it. (Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds!)

So excited to see more bread from you all and share recipes and tips! Currently I have a boule of this for my husband in a banneton in the fridge to be baked tomorrow. He's German and lives in America but misses his favorite bread so I'm determined to start making it for him!

Hope everyone's weekend loaves turn out wonderfully!

Well done indeed, crumb shots are what we love for a follow-up, and ingredient lists. Oils, sugars, salts, flours, milks, butters, water, yeasts, levains - we want it!

Aha! See! New to all this. I don't have a crumb shot currently as the 2nd loaf is in the freezer and the first is nommed, but when we pull out the loaf this week and cut into it I'll get one!

As for recipe, I followed this to the letter! I'm still learning what things should look, and feel like for sourdough so trying to not deviate from recipes until I have a better eye for things, ya know?

beautiful! would you mind showing us the insides of these loafs?

I don't currently have one, because we ate the first loaf and the 2nd is in the freezer. It'll come out this week and when we cut into it I'll reply with the pic! Next time I'll know to have the crumb pic ready to go lol
