Well here goes, my very first sour dough loaf.  I kneaded it this morning and then put it in a warm place in my Le Cruset 24 cm pan until i got back from work   It didn't rise that much but I think the pan is too big for it.   I am happy at least it resembles bread.  Can't wait to taste it.

Certainly looks better than my first loaf GHM.  Just the right size for bruschetta too.

GHM that looks pretty good. I've got my first loaf in the oven now. JD kindly gave  me some starter on the weekend and I've been feeding it. I've left it out of the fridge for the last few days. I'm unsure about how long I'm supposed to wait between feeding the starter and mixing the dough. I fed it about an hour before I mixed the dough, so I'll see how we go. It took about 4 hours to rise. I've made a half batch and put it in a small loaf tin

My only problem so far is that my thermochef struggled mixing the dough even though it was a half batch. I love my TC, but it does struggle with bread

Ok. The loaf is out of the oven. Pity it's now 10.40pm and it's bedtime. Too late to try it fresh from the oven. :(
Smells good, but it's only a small loaf. Can't wait to cut it open and taste it.
Guess what I'll be having for brekkie :)

DH couldn't resist the loaf. He has cut the end off and eaten it, and given me the thumbs up.

ES, looks good.  The general rule is to feed and it usually takes 7 hours to be active enough to make bread.  There are variables,  such as how hot it is and how active it is before you feed it.
AB, keep going, you are on the right path.

Gert,  good idea,  but if it is very active it might be calling out to you at 2.00 am.
