Bread-Bakers v106.n030.13

I made my first batch of bread using my own homemade starter.

It was terrific! I can't believe I did it!

The bread has great texture, chewy, and even, small holes throughout. 
It needed salt. I have read where salt kills the bacteria so I didn't 
put in enough. But for my first batch I am delighted!

I used a loaf pan as it didn't hold its shape well.

How do make a loaf to hold it's shape so I don't have to use a loaf 
pan the next time?

Thanks so much for this list. I have learned so much.
