My sourdough baguettes
Made these today, used just flour, water, salt, and sourdough starter, baked weigh is about 500-g each. The crust was good and the crumb was soft, not too holey. I used corn meal on the cooking sheets but the baguettes were stuck. I have never had that problem before... I had to go to work this morning while the baguettes rose in the cold oven. By the time I came home they had been sitting in the oven, on the cookie sheets, for 4-1/2 hours. Not sure if it was the reason they got stuck. I practically had to chisel them out. Next time I will try parchment paper instead.
