Got Time Made Bread

Good looking loaf.  I also make bread in a dutch oven as well as pizza dough.  However, There is no yeast to be found anywhere in Los Angeles.  Can't believe it.

It seems there are more bakers than we thought - with bread being so perishable you'd have to go out far to frequently to maintain a fresh supply.  This must be why sourdough is so popular.  You can make a starter without yeast just letting the concoction get inoculated by wild yeast and then keeping it going forever.

The same thing can be done with domesticated yeast. Just save some of the dough from the previous loaf for future loaves. Eventually it will be taken over, hopefully by a good sourdough yeast. But there are techniques (that I don't know or employ but have heard of) where domesticated yeast can be kept going forever.

People have to stay home so, they have to do something.  Los Angeles is not a small city and I must have checked over a half dozen stores and no yeast.

Worth it's weight in gold.
