I followed The Bread Baker's Apprentice's instructions almost to a T and it came out really well. Just wanted to post a couple quick pics and look for suggestions for improvement. Oh yeah, and I did not use parchment paper or a slipat or anything. Was this a bad thing? I think the bottom came out great. I baked it at 450 for 12 minutes, then let it cool for 20mins before cutting into it.
Once again, even after swearing them off after multiple failed attempts, I am baking baguettes. For the last few hours, I have coddled and babied the dough, and I have to say, I was feeling pretty good about things. Following Hamelman's recipe for Baguette with poolish and his detailed shaping instructions, I have managed to form the best looking baguettes to date (for me at least).
Almost.
I'm curious about flour in the US and whether there are many small mills around that mill quality / organic flour and sell locally.
I'm going on a 5-day river trip with a group of 14 people. There will be two transportation days prior to getting on the river. So...I need a bread that will stand up to 7-8 days of storage in hot conditions, and that can handle the rough treatment of being bounced around in a dry bag (a dry bag is like a back-pack that will not allow water inside.) We plan to make sandwiches, but the bread doesn't have to be sliced loaves.
I have this wonderful recipe that I've made many times. I'd be interested in how I might convert this to a recipe using a starter instead of yeast>
BE honest - am I better off leaving well enough alone since I do LOVE this recipe?

Coarse Salt and Rosemary Focaccia Bread
2 tsp Active Dry yeast
2 cup Warm Water
8 TB Olive Oil
5 C. Unbleached flour (can use bread flour or whatever you have)
1 TB Salt
3 TB Fresh Rosemary Leaves (I have been using dry)
1 TB Coarse Salt (Kosher Salt)
For all of you in Philadelphia looking for fresh yeast, I am happy to announce that the superfresh on 10th and South now stocks it. I wanted to put the word out in the hope that people will buy it and they will continue to stock it!
regards
