My First Shot at Baking Bread

Proofing the yeast in a warm water with sugar. The foam means it's still alive.

Brand of flour and year proofing.

Mix flour and water well, then incorporate salt and yeast.

Mixed dough.

Yeast doing its job.

Risen dough.

Proofing dough in a frying pan. Final rise is to allow the gluten to relax enough for a big rise to happen in oven.

Proofing dough.

Flipped dough into a dutch oven. Cover and bake at ~450F.

Before bake. Fresh Bread.

Success!

Good Texture.
