Nope. Missing out on that.
I put the yeast in warm water.
Put salt and flour in mixer.
Pour the yeast water mixture on to flour.
Add a bit of olive oil towards the end.
Let prove for an hour or two in a warm room, covered with (not touched by) a wet towel.
Make dough balls.
Prove again either in fridge overnight or a warm room for an hour, covered with (not touched by) a wet towel.

The yeast has no problem using starch for energy. There are enzymes (amylase) that break the starch up into sucrose, so adding it is totally unnecessary. The only difference I am aware of is that added sucrose can be useful to give dough some color when cooking at lower temp in conventional ovens.
my 2 cents

Another. you can see the oak in the back and then two large walnut limbs tipped over as well, and the red bud in the foreground. This doesn't even show two or three other large limbs that were in our yard.
images on Google of the corn crop in the Midwest are truly probably the saddest images of all.

Here's an image. If you can open it you'll see I'm standing on the trunk and the tree dwarfs everything around it. My wife and neighbor are below. Scenes like this are all over the place. Riding the cargo bike around with the kids is truly an adventure and a lot of fun. One bright spot and the whole event.
We're were quoted 7k+ to get the tree out.
My neighbor and I may just chip away at it for a month, seeing we can't get a tree service out until they're "finished getting the trees out of everybody's living rooms."

The political divide is palpable.
The storm looked like the wizard of oz. I do not get scared, but when I saw a healthy oak tree fall down that has a 4 foot wide trunk in my own yard nearly obliterating my neighbors house, I paid attention. I went in the basement. I have never gone into a basement. 15 years of east coast hurricanes, never in a basement.
I don't know if the upcoming election will push the divide wider, but I don't think so.... Seems to me that Trump has gone too far with too little skill and grace.
He has given a lot of conspiracy theories and nutjobs a voice though.
He might (try to) steal the election. We'll see.
Sometimes I wonder whether history will show we are living in a proverbial dark ages, possibly rooted in the advent of social media. That may be a bit of an emotional reaction on my part though

I gotta tell you feels like the USA is falling apart.
From Trump, elevated racist and nationalist narratives, George Floyd protests and national guard, shitty handling of covid, continual polarizing politicizing of normal life, one nauseating news cycle after another, social media dominating human discourse....
It all sucks.
To top it off the Midwest just got DESTROYED by a giant giant thunderstorm of indescribable magnitude with 100+ mph over the course of 500 miles... Just Google derecho Midwest ... I have my own photos and they're unbelievable, but Google should do the trick.
Seems like each year keeps making nthe previous year look good.
Spirits are in the can.
Can only hope Trump doesn't steal the election.

Yeah. Is it engaging? Does it need wider rubber? Is there too much technology? Is the steering numb? Does it feel like a gimmick? Anything really.
Edit
No idea how I haven't come across this before. Basically answers my questions.
