Ancient baguette discussion

Hi all,

I was searching the 'net for possible tips on re-creating Boulangier Paul's "flute ancienne" and came across this rather old, but interesting, bulletin-board/blog/discussion. There are some really good posts, there.

Someone asked the question: "Why are French baguettes better than others?" There were some interesting answers. This may be useful to bakers around this neighbourhood. No questions from me, for a change...just posted FYI...

Cheers,

Great link, Copyu.  Thanks!

I especially enjoyed reading James MacGuire's comments.

I thought James MacGuire sounded as if he knew what he was talking about. I don't have the time to verify everything he said, but it's good food for thought!

Thank you very much for your positive responses,

Best wishes,
