And very quiet too.

I am usually up at 4 AM gmt. I too have some sleep problem.
I guess it is to do with age.

Could be.  I've always been like that though.

Anyway, just done the final shaping of the sourdough loaf, ready for the baking in about an hour.
I make one loaf a week.

Have you tried a loaf with beer instead of water and add some garlic and onion powder and oregano to it?  It makes a GREAT loaf.

No, just the plain loaf with 20% whole meal flour.

I use bread  machine flour for the high gluten.  And seriously, go make a loaf with beer, oinion and garlic powder and a heaping tablespoo of oregano and tell me it isn't better!  You never know until you try.

My Dad used to tell me I made the best bread he ever tasted and I told him my recipe.  Well, he didn't want to use beer, or garlic powder or oregano.  And then he said my recipe wasn't "all that good" .

LOL!

I am not that adventurous with my baking.
If I don’t freeze half of the loaf, it gets mouldy by the the week is up.
With diabetes I have to be low on carbohydrates.

I always cut my loaf in half too and freeze one. 

TRY MY RECIPE AND then TELL ME YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

Oregano and beer sounds good. But I would hold back on garlic powder.

Yes, really.

But here is a thing. When you get older your hearing, vision, smell and taste are down to less than half.
Hearing and vision can be helped. Smell and taste not.

OK, go with the beer instead of water.  And oregano is good at any age.   But you keep arguing about.  Just make one my way and see if you like it! 

Geez...

If you insist. But not today.
And no garlic powder. I wouldn’t notice it anyway.

Are you using dry or fresh herbs?

Onion  and garlic POWDER.  Dried oregano.  Use fresh if you have it.  I don't have it.  And my next loaf will have fresh garlic and onion just to see if there is a difference.  I"LL try something new.

I've had that.  Where I worked, there would sometimes come word that the "foccacchia guy" was in theagency acriss the street.  We all rushed over to get some. 

OK, I'll try to make that.  And You make MY loaf MY way.

I found a small jar of garlic powder in the pantry. Date Expired 2007. LOL.

Another interesting string ... enjoy.  When people drop their masks and just talk, you see the real person.
