I'm new to this and didn't want to try something too difficult right off the bat. I was hoping to have some kind of homemade bread for breakfast without a huge time investment, and this turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be. I didn't have buttermilk, so I used water, apple cider vinegar, and some olive oil. I also threw in some chia seeds, hoping that would make it hold together a little better.

Any tips for other things I should try? I'm not necessarily trying to make it vegan, although it did come out that way.

What kind of bread do you looking to make? It took me like 3/4 years of intermittent bread baking to get good at it.

Flatbreads are easy, and you make them on a stovetop. I just made a recipe the other day, where you bake a sweet potato, peel and mash it, then add equal parts flour to the sweet potato, and make a dough that way. Then you pinch off little balls and roll em out to flat breads and cook em on a dry hot pan til brown ish and it's a yummy flat bread. You can do this with any potato, and even squash or lentils, I've read.

For yeasted breads I make this bi-weekly, and though time consuming I find pretty fool proof. I don't even divide it most the time and bake it whole. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pan-de-cristal-recipe

I'm no professional baker, but I can help if you've any questions, anytime
