Hello all,

Here's my first attempt this year at sourdough.  For the most part this follows Jeff Hamelman's Bread book recipe for both the starter and the bread.  My starter is young, this bake being the first one using it.  It has just in the last day or two showed good signs if life and is at least doubling in volume after feeding it.

This is a great recipe from a great book.

The recipe is posted here: 

I actually followed the recipe exactly .. which for some reason is rare for me.   The only difference was I baked at 425 vs. 450.   I wanted a little bit softer crust.. and this worked well.    (so I guess I didn't follow it exactly..).

Anyway, I tripled the batch.. these are 1.5lb loaves.
