Sourdough Bread

This was my first attempt at sourdough bread. Starter and instructions were given to me by Joann Jolin. She is taking a culinary arts class at their homeschool co-op and is learning to do this. What I found out after baking this bread is that I was missing a step in my instructions and that could be part of the reason why the bread did not rise. The other reason is that my house has been staying at about 60-64 degrees. It kinda came out flat as a pancake and hard as a rock. Had a good flavor, though.

I am about to bake my second loaf today. With the added step to my instructions, it did rise. YAY! I will post pics of my second loaf if I can remember before everyone tears into it! :0)
