Baked my first Loaves of Bread!

Well yesterday I set out to make a door for the oven with the hopes of trying my luck at some bread baking. Below is the oven loaded with loaves and closed off with the door soaked in water .



So I quickly learned how much skill is needed to make  and bake bread. The once risen dough was cut  and shaped into four loaves and were placed onto cookie sheets dusted with cornmeal (not enough I found out). When I went to move the loaves onto the peel they were stuck to the cookie sheets. I nudged them free and the nice fluffy loaves sank and never came back up.


Here are the loaves of bread. A little flatter than I'd hoped but  tasted really good dipped in some olive oil with a touch of salt.
