Noobie trying a high hydration baguette recipe but failed---->
Hello Bakers,
I took a stab at txfarmer's high hydration baguette recipe and I failed miserably. Dough ended up way too tacky to handle and it didn't rise well. A couple of things that I think went wrong were I tried to shape the dough right out of the fridge (too cold?) and after baking it looked like skinny ciabatta bread instead of 2" cylindrical baguettes. I followed the recipe to a tee. Maybe I left the dough for 2 days in the fridge, was that too long?
thank you in advance,
Ray
