Brad loves sourdough bread. Loves.
So this week he tried his hand at his FIRST loaf of homemade bread (not in a bread machine.) We followed the directions from Follow the Sourdough. I failed to take a picture of his starter sitting in a pickle jar on our counter for 5 days, but here is "the sponge":
Kneeding.
In his NEW Oakland A's apron his wife got him for Christmas :)
THE LOAF!!! It does look pretty doesn't it??
The moment of truth:
Yay for bread!!
It is hard to make perfect sourdough your first try- this one came out okay- not TOO terribly sour tasting and had more of a consistency and density of regular bread, not fluffy like we would prefer, but despite its imperfections, it is DELICIOUS.
