Sourdough with some oats

Regular old sourdough.  I threw in a handful of steel cut oats.  YUMMY!

duty sponge

I love making bread, but sometimes when I'm busy, I don't feel as inspired.  When I feed my starter everyday, I tell myself that I should make bread soon before my crock overflows.  Great.  I've given myself a chore.

I start the sponge out of duty to my future self:  I will want that bread.  As for feel uninspired, the simplest breads are often the best.  AND lazy plus, the sponge can sit and ferment for awhile.  NO RUSH!

Today my sponge contains:  flour, sugar, starter, water and steel cut oats.
