A Loaf of Bread

Sometime, I will have balanced some bread dough which either I will discard it or let my sons play with it. And I find that it quite a waste. Out of the blue, I have this idea to use it to act as a sponge dough on bread. I look though all my bread bakery books for recipe which uses sponge dough. I did find a suitable recipe and I made small adjustment to the recipe. Hehehe....and it work. :)
