4 Hour Bauguette

My commute lately has been so bad that this morning I decided to work from home. The good news is that gave me an opportunity to bake bread.  The last minute nature of my decision meant that sourdough was out of the question (no time to build a proper  levain). So I was left to a bread made quickly with commercial yeast.  Daniel Leader's Baguette Normal from Local Breads was the perfect choice. I used KA French-Style flour (55% ash) and was quite pleased with the result. The scoring gods even smiled on me today.
