Hi there,

New baker here- I've made bread quite a lot before, but mainly using baker's yeast and for specific events rather than something regular. I recently decided to make a sourdough starter to see what all the fuss was about, and today I baked my first loaf! It looked good, if a little flat (it spread more than I expected, probably because I didn't tuck it enough) and tasted good. Very much a learning process though and I'm loving all the good advice on the site!

Congratulations!  The loaf looks great.  The bad news is that you may well be stuck with making your own bread, always.  Or at least being dissatisfied with any that is bought in the grocery.
