Today, for the first time ever, I made baguettes.
I have made sandwich loaves, no-knead bread, Swedish braids, cinnamon twists, lemon loaves, pound cake, blueberry lemon bread, banana bread, and many other kinds of bread in my time, but never baguettes.
After an enlightening conversation with S.M. Stirling about writing and baking, I was inspired to give it a shot.
Baguette pan: purchased.
Initial recipe: selected. I’ll likely test out a few more but this looked like a decent place to start.

Results? Pretty good! The finished loaves aren’t quite as pretty/large/browned as I’d like and I have a list of process items to tweak, but the taste and texture were both excellent.
