Hi @actaylor welcome to the world foodies, I am a lover of the kitchen who loves to eat and make breads at home hahaha, certainly make breads and prepare sourdough has a time that we must have patience hahaha, I can tell you that you have been perfect for your first time, you'll see that the next time the result will improve and then you will like it so much that you can not stop making your own breads.

The story of the rabbit I was waiting to read that you had given him some bread hahaha, but I still loved your post.
