Baguettes from the UK Newsletter.
« on: October 16, 2014, 12:54:30 pm »
I made the baguettes from the UK newsletter. It is my first attempt at this type of bread. I was pleased with the result and they taste lovely.

They are beautiful.  Did you use a baguette pan or bake them shaped but free form?  I don't have such a pan and wonder if they could be made without one.  I too got the newsletter and the recipe looked very appealing

Well done Cookie.  Are they crunchy on the crust with a soft inside?
I have found the SD ones the closest to the ones we have had in Paris.  Will certainly give these a go.

Thanks everyone. They are not as hard on the outside as they perhaps should be. I didn't put 'steam' into the oven as I don't like very crunchy crusts on bread.
I love the taste. DH was helpful and cut them up for me when I was in the shower.  :'(he sliced them! I wanted to use them as a roll for my lunch.  :'( not too worry, we have lots of little slices now. He said he can have 2 sandwiches for lunch instead of one.

Here's the link: Baguettes.

I have a baguette pan that I bought from Lola's Wheat Free World and can't wait to try this recipe.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I've got the Pain Aux Cereales from the UK Newsletter proving ATM. When it doubles in size its still not going to be a big loaf. I didn't think too much about the quantities of flour before starting but there is only 270g all up. I'm interested as to how its going to turn out tho as you have to prepare the starter dough the day before, and there is 3 hours of proving time all up.

Love them cookie. I had planned to buy some proofing baskets and  loaf bannaton to bake it as well as a lame after my holiday but I have put everything on hold for the moment because I don't have a TMX said and boo hoo to me. When it arrives I will do some more research as to what to get . I can't afford to waste money on things I don't need  except maybe some new gadgets........or the new iPads .......or.........LOL!

Anyway we may pass a kitchen/bakeware place in Tassie. Right girls?

I was forced to buy a loaf of sour dough at a French Bakery this morning and it cost me $6.50 .i am chewing each bit at least 20 times  before I swallow.
