Submitted by dmsnyder on July 31, 2009 - 10:12pm More stupid bread photosI'm always willing to try a new baguette recipe. So, DonD's “Eric Kayser's Baguettes Monge Hybrid” post caught my eye, and I made them today. I'll add a comment to Don's topic on the ones I made according to his instructions, but I made one of the 3 baguettes using my own technique. I call it “Eric Kayser's Baguettes Monge Mutant.”
Procedure
Happy baking! David

Made my night. Thanks!

PS The fantes stone that I just picked up to replace my broken one has a back lip, unfortunately it will prevent me from exploring this technique further.
Where there's a will, there's a way!
No ocean's too wide. No lip's too high.

Oh dear! I think most of us
Oh dear! I think most of us have had similar accidents. My stones are so heavy, I can't pull the rack out. It makes it a little awkward for me to place long baguettes lengthwise on the stone. I can see where that would have been one lovely baguette! Looks like it might make some tasty pull apart rolls!

I'm sure it will make lovely bread crumbs!
David
Roadkill!
Hehe! Thanks for posting :)
Are you sure you didn't accidentally drive over it with your hummer, David?
Hummer tracks?
Nope. Hummer tires have a different pattern, hansjoakim.

Amazing!
I'm amazed it turned out so well David. Nice recovery.

Weaponry
Psst. It's really a Shillelagh disguised to look like a baguette.
Weapon against the sin of ...
Pride!
I do something like this to myself every few months in defense of my immortal soul. ;-)

You could pass it off as the rattler from the big snake you killed with your bare hands!
Sylvia
Rattler..hahaha..
most definitely, I agree!!
David, you are so brave and courageous.

A sports object
At first glance, I thought it was some aboriginal jai alai stick.
The Mutant's Head
Hi David,
Hey, check out the Mutant's Head and his "grin", er, I mean "grigne". I did not know that gravity helps the oven spring so much!
Don
If your dough is sluggish ...
And I think that baguette looks more like a slug than a rattlesnake ... gravity helps the oven spring. I mean the darn loaf sprang right over the back of the baking stone!
David
The error of my ways
Huh! Am I to understand that baguettes aren't supposed to look like that? Hoo boy -- back to the drawing board.
Tee hee. My baguettes routinely look that bad...well, not far off, anyway. :) My husband chuckles and shakes his head at my every attempt, and I really can't blame him.
Thanks for the laugh. :)

You're welcome, Karen!
I've said before, "At least we can eat our mistakes." That baguette made bread crumbs for meatballs, toast for breakfast and bread crumbs for salmon cakes. All were enjoyed.
Beauty is only crust deep.
If life gives you ugly bread, make bread crumbs.
