Hello!

I have made my first loaf of bread with my homemade whole wheat starter. I've been makin the sourdough english muffins here:

So here's my bread. any suggestions on how I can do better next time?

 

 

This looks pretty good for a 1st attempt but the crum looks a bit dry. Use more water next time especially when using whole-wheat flour since it absorbs more water than plain white flour.
