My first sourdough loaf...That is a very nice loaf! My first sourdough loafs (many years ago) were hard as a rock and totally uneatable! I think you can be quite proud of this one. <br /><br />Loved your pics of flowers, just noticed crocuses coming out the other day, but splatting snow rain here today. So nice to see your flowers and hear of warmth....Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844823685737127151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981122010728448057.post-37911981526962745862011-03-23T04:00:24.401-04:002011-03-23T04:00:24.401-04:00So pleased to see that Spring has sprung for you M...So pleased to see that Spring has sprung for you Melanie! All the local cherry trees have bloomed in the last few days here as the temperatures have risen. I love hearing about your diving too, I've never seen a sand dollar before, though I've heard them referred to in novels and wondered what they were. <br /><br />Congratulations on setting out on that sourdough journey, it gets better with each loaf you bake, and that one looks like a great kick-off! Have a look at the miches that Mellow Bakers had a go at and that will show you how wholewheat levain loaves tend to be denser, even though the formula isn't the same you might be reassured by some of the pics there http://tinyurl.com/66tabkaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981122010728448057.post-32499750948727007722011-03-22T22:54:08.936-04:002011-03-22T22:54:08.936-04:00Hey Mel,

I think you should be right proud of what you produced!<br /><br />Keep at it!<br /><br />I'll post a longer possible reason for that side blowout over on the forum.
