Yay, I made my first dough yesterday and left it overnight to bake this morning. I thought it was a passable loaf. Possibly not award winning, but I am happy.

Jo, congratulations, you are a star.   The first loaf is a good start. Learn from what you did. SD freezes very well so if you are on a roll you might like to make another. 
Let us know how you go.

Congratulations Jo :)
I am yet to make my first SD bread, fortunately I am able to keep the starter alive as every time I feed it, I can see bubbles and it smells not rotten ;) My first attempt was a disaster and I blame myself for that, just didnt have the patience :(

If your first loaf was 'passable' Jo then you are certainly on the right track. SD is not the easiest loaf to make and patience is certainly needed thermilover.

I mixed the ingredients for a loaf of the Worlds Best Diet Rye Bread. Because it is cold, 11 here today, it doesn't want to rise. I have placed it in a sink of warm water and now in a warm steamy oven. Looks like I will be baking it about 11 pm tonight.
Pretty frustrating so baked 12 No Fuss rolls.

It is frustrating Chookie. We rarely have the too cold problem. I sometimes think I will put it in the fridge overnight, then I worry that it will rise and go everywhere in the fridge.

What a disaster. Not the beautiful loaf this usually makes. I suppose this is what I love about SD, the challenge. I should have left it to rise overnight. Will thinly slice 1/2 and dry out in oven and make crumbs from rest.,

Cut the loaf and not as bad as I thought. Quite nice cut thinly and toasted.

Mmm, that looks good!

I have another loaf rising now - the recipe on the first post.
