@Aria. Crumb is still too tight. I am blaming my kneading ability after back surgery.
I’ll give it a 7/10. Needs practice

Mark, Looks Fine to me. I do not prefer the large holes....now it is time
to post your recipe. YES...please. Aria

I’ll eat any hot bread once it breaks the magic 4/10 barrier. If the brick has salt, it’s edible. No salt, but not quite a brick.... edible (needs salt shaker)

I think I’m an addict

Salt adds flavor. Just use LESS. Aria

It depends on what you are trying for. That looks like perfect sandwich bread

Thanks. Ron you knew I meant 1/4 cup oil? Yes. I made the bread with
1/2 cup molasses and I did not like it. I tried it with 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup molasses and I did like it. Aria

That bread looks yummy to me, it's risen well and beats mine.
Please take care with healing after surgery.

Cup of starter, active. Not out of fridge or just fed.
5 cups flour, I use Gold Medal bread flour
2-1/2 teaspoons salt plus a pinch
1 teaspoon sour salt (citric acid)
1-1/2 cups Luke warm water

Mix everything except dry flour together first. Then add flour.

I knead the dough until it passes window pane test. Toss in bowl for an hour, then portion out into pans. Let it double and bake.

It’s a King Arthur flour recipe. Can’t seem to improve on it (except adding sour salt and a pinch extra regular salt)

EDIT: Makes two small loaves, or one larger loaf if your bread pan is larger than average.
