I! have made baguette.
Using this simple, five-step, 4-hour-long recipe, I made a couple of baguettes yesterday that were so delectable when they first came out of the oven that I consumed 3/4 of one right then and there, and now this morning I’m finishing off the rest. Unlike store bought baguette – even the one from the really good mom n’ pop bakery up the street – this one is even better today. Sweeter, chewier, and softer, it begs to be smothered in salty butter, its remnants licked clean off the fingertips. Although it did require me to stay parked on the couch all day (oh, the humanity) to punch and roll and rise at intervals, it was the perfect project for a free day. If you have a bread maker, the dough setting makes this bread a breeze.
ooh. This sounds good, good, good.
oh my goodness is there anything better than a fresh baguette? it makes me want to go back to paris right away!
I’ve always been too wussy to try my hand at bread making. But you make it sound awfully tempting!
ha ha. That’s awesome. Around the house, you’ll find me mocking that scene in castaway than most.
Seriously though, you’ve just planned my weekend. Baguettes it is.
That image just made me howl! A freshly made baguette is truly incredible! Bravo you, they aren’t easy to make!
nom nom! yeah, i think of that movie scene a lot when i have triumphed. funny.
so, I couldn’t stop thinking about this recipe. I’m waiting for the dough to rise right now… can’t wait to eat every last crumb.
I tried this recipe after seeing it on Rachel’s blog. If I can make a baguette, anyone can. Trust me!
sorry, I know I commented on this already, but this post was hilarious, and makes me happy whenever I scroll down to see it.
I! have made Baguette!!
