Saturday Bread on a Sunday
Decided to start with one of Ken Forkish's easier recipes and made the Saturday Bread. It turned out pretty good and I would say it is probably the nicest looking bread that I have made on my short journey to bread geekdom. Finally got the nice rings from my wicker basket (you should have seen some of my past disasters). I used a czech flour to flour the basket - it was a coarse wheat and I think that made it less sticky than the previous AP I was using (didnt have to add rice flour).

loaf of bread on any Day! Beautifully baked to that dark brown tasty stage of crust.
Well done!
That's a beautiful loaf of bread in every respect.
Very nice baking,
Syd
Your bread is every bit as gorgeous as the breads featured in Mr. Forkish's book :^)
What a pretty-looking loaf with the flour pattern, and the bloom during baking; the crust and crumb look wonderful.

you are just starting baking? Awesome. (And would still be even if you've been baking for years.) -Varda
Thank you for the compliments. I only started baking a couple of months ago, so it's awesome to hear praises from amazing bakers like yourselves. I still have a ton to learn, but thats what keeps this hobby fun. Well...that and the delicious bread we all get to eat. :)
