Hi! These are my very first mini sourdough loaves. I was quite confused at that time why it turned our like this, but I think I understand my starter and sourdough tiny bit more, so wanted to share my thoughts and also here other people’s opinions!

And yes, I was brave enough to try inclusions on my first try 🙌

1. I was super happy that they looked very decent, but they def felt heavy, kind of like bricks.
2. The crumbs looked surprisingly even throughout, but they were so small 😂
3. The bread texture was gummy and tough.

I think I underfermented this dough for sure.. what else went wrong? Thoughts? 🤔

Recipe I followed (I divided this dough into 4 balls at the end):
