pale Crust

I am extremely excited because yesterday I made 4 baguettes that had a wonderfull and open crumb.  I decided to go against the grain (no pun indended), and just not knead the dough.  Instead I made an extremely wet dough (about 80% hydration) and did the stretch and fold method. I would then let the dough rise for 45 mins. and repeat the stretch and fold method again.  I did this five times.  Afterward I shaped and baked and they turned out great!!! I wish I had a camera that I could take pictures with...but I don't.
