Well! My sourdough starter bit the dust which means starting over. Before anyone offers advice on reconstituting, it was moldy as a result of a refrigerator melt down. (Yes at some point we will need a new one. Meanwhile the old one is limping along.)
I have been doing yeasted bread which is different but equally delicious. This is an oatmeal loaf. I used a cup of Bob' Red Mill thick cut oats which sat in two cups of boiling water until cool. I added a bit more water when I started the actual loaf.

It is delicious. As a Type 2 diabetic I don't eat a lot of bread so when I do I want it to be tasty.
I rarely use a written recipe these days. I do write down what I am doing if I am experimenting.
And happier days have the sun shining through my bedroom windows when it rises. It's a small joy, which I have been thinking about a lot. Yes, there is always gratitude to practice. But there is a great deal to be said for finding small joys in our daily live. Perhaps I will do a longer post on this.
As always, stay safe, and thanks for stopping by.............*S*
