Turmeric Sourdough with Toasted Oats

Do what makes your soul shine! Baking bread makes me happy, I'm still in awe each time I bake.

Hubby planned to cook curry for the family to go with a loaf of sourdough bread. I got inspired, went a little bold and adventurous with this bake. Added ground turmeric to half of the dough with toasted oats sprinkled with curry powder.

Cold retard this loaf for 16 hours and was rewarded with a cute-looking oven spring that resemblance an eyelid. Also, cutting through this loaf brought me joy as the bright and cheery yellow crumbs sparkle!
