First shot at baking bread

We love bread. That's actually an understatment! We adore bread. Bread amatus. Whatever - it's in demand around here. But 1) bread at the store is expensive; 2) it's usually overprocessed; and 3) so much of it has HFCS.

So, I'm trying to start making my own bread. I don't bake, so I'll guess I need to start. I'm talking to everyone, including the check out lady tonight at the grocery store. There's so much to learn.

Speaking of starting, I got a sourdough starter going about a week ago, and I made my first loaf tonight. It isn't pretty, and it's slightly underbaked, but it's not bad! The starter isn't old enough to have a great sour flavor yet, but at least I know that it is alive and working.
