Baguettes from the UK Newsletter.

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.   I have some metal baguette tins but I used these for the recipe I made yesterday. They seemed perfect for them.
               

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.

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

AB I saw this on a website and thought it a great idea for a improvised baguette tins if you run out of space.

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.

Love that idea, CC!

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!

[droverjess]

Oh Gert you are a tonic!

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
