Tell me this doesn’t look like a 10$ loaf at Whole Foods.

I made this bread using the forkish method. Anyone serious about learning to make bread should buy the book flour, salt, water, yeast. By ken forkish to learn his method and make a delicious loaf

Here is a progress pic from my first ever loaf

Mines is the one on the right by far the worst tasting of the three. This was probably not only my first try at the forkish method but my first time baking a loaf of bread ever. You can see that I’ve improved over time.

Over all baking bread has become one hobby that I still practice over time as it is delicious, and while time consuming most of the time is passive. Even though it takes 5+ hours to make a loaf the amount of actual work is probably only half an hour, the rest is just waiting. The trade you make in thirty minutes of work to get a nice homemade loaf is one I will make each time. Plus the feeling of that first bite in to a crunchy soft and wonderfully buttery warm slice of bread, ethereal. Plus the quality and cost of ingredients is probably cheaper than the loaf at market place.

Sure your first few loaves may be totally bad but that’s part of the process. No one picks up a guitar and plays stairway to heaven right away. I’m so glad I have this as a hobby and take a lot of pride in the bread I bake.
