A wonderful small batch baguette recipe

To be clear, this recipe is not my creation, but the photos are

It makes two baguettes, approximately 3-4 servings (or just one on a weekend, i won't tell)

It finishes with a wonderful open crumb, a glass-like crust that just shatters as you bite into it, and a lovely complex flavor

She's a very smelly little old lady corgi who loves bread more than anything. If she hears me pick up the bread knife she comes flying into the kitchen from anywhere in the house, hahaha

More like ficelles, but look great.

Mukling posts here once in a while.  everything she (or he?) makes is fabulous.  Never utters a word.  A true talent.

You're right, definitely more like ficelles, though that's admittedly how all of my "baguettes" turn out as I prefer them that way :) The perfect diameter for an appetizer tray!

 

Their youtube channel is full of wonderful-looking recipes, I'll give it a more thorough examination soon
