Recipe Review. French Baguette - For Foods Sake
« on: February 08, 2012, 08:57:37 am »
French Baguette

Not sure where to start

Ok one loaf is not enough!!LOL

It tastes very different to how I expected, wow its absolute yum. DS & I have eaten  half already before dinner.

When I lifted the dough out of the TM I thought oh no this is lumpy & hard. After rising for 45 mins its soft & airy.

Have never steamed bread before, new experience, then onto my pizza stone in the oven.



Lovely lovely bread

Thanks everyone.

I know Frozzie I love baguettes. This bread is steamed in the varoma, a long baguette wouldnt fit. To me it didnt taste like a baguette from memory, I think they are long & thin.

Teninas loaf looks similar to mine. Tastes great.

Wouldnt have to be long.. They have half baguettes here as well or sandwich baguettes so length can vary and the crust as to be crunchy and obviously long and thin... Seems to me they shouldnt be called french baguettes... Tenina tenina tenina!!
