Nice.

I just made a loaf that looks like your first one. LOL.

It turned out really tasty and 'nutty' I guess is the word, with a nice
texture but it didn't brown much on top.

Just starter, salt, water and flour. I let it rise 8 hours, then made a
loaf and let that rise overnight 8 hours and popped it into a 375 oven
for 45 minutes. I didn't want to overcook it so I didn't put it under
the broiler to finish browning the top. Next time I will do that or try
425.

Not bad at all, but I do prefer the lighter bread I get when I add
'ingredients'. :-)
