Wow, it's on par with the white sourdough bread we buy from a bakery, with very little effort. I'll definitely try this again. (I baked it in an 8x8 pyrex baking dish at 375 for 45 minutes. Since it looked a bit pale I removed it from the dish and baked it on the rack for another 5 mins. Still pale, but baked through.)

Your bread needs some sugar water brushed over it to brown it.

Thank you for your suggestion! I've made this bread several times since then, and I found that since I switched to a gas oven, it browns much more. Baked on the same temperature and same duration, but it has much more colour. I actually just took this out of the oven. :)
