Baguettes

[CaseT]

Cold, drizzly, windy,l and spitting snow. Good bread baking weather!
Need something to go with the round roast I made the other day. So let’s make baguettes!

Used this King Arthur recipe. They have good videos hyperlinked on shaping and slashing. I obviously didn’t pay enough attention to those videos. My baguettes are shall we say Rustic!

Classic Baguettes

Hiuse smells fantastic. It’s amazing how baking bread will brighten a gloomy day by the smells that fill the house.

For some reason wouldn’t work as a link so put it in as a hyperlink now it works.

Dude, cut it out! Those are beautiful. I’d better do something pretty sooner than later!

Love that smell!!!
They look great!

Case, those look amazing. The only bread I can successfully make is the NYT no-knead bread recipe. Everything else looks like an amorphous blob. Like, my wife actually cringes at the sight.

Amen to that, especially when there's a pot of soup simmering on the stove as well!

Case,
That bread with the meat from you roast smoke earlier this week will be amazing. I am thinking you need to make an au jus to turn it into a French dip sandwich.

 

[Tim Campbell]

I second Michael's idea.

 

[Peter Gallagher]
