Title: Baguettes from the UK Newsletter.
Post by: cookie1 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. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/10/16/avu9uqyn.jpg)

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 (http://thermomix.vorwerk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Baguette.pdf).

I have a baguette pan that I bought from Lola's Wheat Free World (http://www.wheatfreeworld.com.au) and can't wait to try this recipe.

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.

I watched a show on TV last night where a French Baker was making Baguettes he just seems to put them in what looked like a black cloth of sorts, laid one down after rolling then pushed up a fold before the next one,( I was wondering if the black silicone sheet I have for the BBQ would work I will give it a go over the weekend. )  put them in a wood fired oven for a short time and voila, yum yum they looked good.

LOL Gert. You must get your money's worth. It would be lovely if we happened to stroll past a kitchen shop in Hobart.  ;D ;D I have some metal baguette tins but I used these for the recipe I made yesterday. They seemed perfect for them.
                (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/10/17/unugu2e9.jpg)

CP they were easy to make.
I meant to do the cereal loaf today, but forgot to do the starter last night. I'll try and remember tonight.

I have a dish the same good value as you can also place rolls along the three grooves.

Tell me girls do you put the baguettes in the oven on that tray, looks ideal I might have to look for one.  Could improvise, there is a cut off from the metal roof behind the shed nearly like that. ;D

I just finished typing up my thoughts on the Pain Aux Cereales only to delete it. This is the short version: 3 hours 20 mins proving time amongst steps :-\ having to wash the bowl twice - once the night before making the starter and again the next day making the dough  :-\. Taste wise the nicest homemade wholemeal loaf I've made so far  :) will, I make it again - yes  :)

I cooked mine in the baguette shapers AB.

CP I have the starter in the fridge for that bread. It is  certainly a little amount.

OMG I should probably no doubt about it invest in a French baguette tin. I've probably been resisting 3-5 years (whose counting) but I'm caving!

having to wash the bowl twice - once the night before making the starter and again the next day making the dough  :-\.

I'm making this again today. When I made the starter yesterday I just put the little container that I keep the starter in onto the scales and measured the ingredients into it, and then mixed together with a teaspoon. Took a couple of seconds and old lazypants didn't have to wash the jug  ;D
