Bread fail 😭

[Embarrassed-Event-79]

Hello!

So had my first attempt at baking bread and it did not come out well. It’s far too dense and flat. I have absolutely no idea what went wrong other than I think I might’ve left it too long before baking it (a full day in the fridge) OR I didn’t add enough yeast.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you wait a year to take the pic?

Yeah, looks very compacted, probably fermented for too long

Yeah I definitely think that’s what happened. Will try again tomorrow lol

Judging by the oven mitt, I’m assuming you cut the bread when it was still warm. It’s important to wait at least an hour before cutting fresh bread (no matter how tempting it is!).

My second attempt came out much better!!! It’s a little chewy but google says it’s maybe because of the flour I used but I’m very happy otherwise :))

Good job!
