This is my 2nd time doing baguette and it turns out to be the same result. The baguette smells yeasty oily when baking. After baking the outside hard and brown but inside still soft and smells weird. But i only use 3-4 drops of oil to grease the container for proofing. At the last proofing the dough din't rise much althought i put it for more than an hour. I don't have a stand mixer so i can only use my hands. Need some help please newbie here.
