First bread for 2022 - WW Barley bread

Over the last 3 days I've been making that favorite rye bread of mine - Old MW Rye - but this time with barley flour, instead of the rye. I had some leftover "barley flakes", which I use in a lot of cookies, so I decided to grind them to flour, and got about 3 cups of flour. So I started the fermentation with instant yeast 3 days early - it smelled great, as well as the baked bread, though I'm not sure if it's better than rye. And too hot to cut it yet.

@jmsieglaff Here is a thread where I discussed the Old Milwaukee Rye, that this was based on. I used the barley instead of rye flour, and WW instead of bread flour, and no egg (which I often omit).

Here's a photo of a slice of the bread:
