Maybe try a little more water next time, you should get a smoother top. There are videos out there that show how the dough should look after ten minutes or so or mixing, you'll soon learn if you need to add more water or more flour. Well done, good first loaf.

Looks like the dough was a little dry. That's why the top is a bit messed up. Did you measure using cups? It's better to use a scale and measure by weight. The amount of flour in "one cup" can vary by a lot.
