The First Results

So here's the shaped loaf.  It was about 3 ounces under the 1 pound requirement and looked rather small on the board.  It did not rise during the forty minutes it sat out but puffed up quite a bit during the baking.  I discovered that my oven was about 15 degree cooler and thought I should have baked the bread five minutes longer.  I would have a picture of the finished product but my family fell on the bread like vultures and there's just a tiny stub left on the counter. The taste was pleasing and a bit like a sourdough.  Tomorrow, I'm going to make baguettes.
