First time making bread, how did I do? (infosec.pub)

This is my first attempt at making bread other than pancakes. I just made a basic white bread for my first try. I think it came out pretty great and it's delicious toasted with butter and my homemade black raspberry jam. I can't wait to try a sourdough next.

it depends what you want from your bread. yours looks like an american style bread out of a shape, containing quite some sugar.

if you want a more european approach: only use enough sugar to feed the fresh yeast. let the dough rest untill it starts to raise above your bowl, shape the bread, let it rest for 30-60 minutes again. that way you should get a much lighter bread with a nice crust.
