French baguettes in a jiffy
Well, I kind of screwed up today, but did my best to make up for it. When I was making the Gluten-free Farmhouse bread earlier, i prepared too much yeast because I thought I really messed up the bread dough, but it turned out that I didn't! As a result, I quickly found the most simple recipe for yeasted French bread and threw it together in minutes and baked it this afternoon. It was really good! My husband liked the crust. I could have done a much better job on the shaping, however. I'll do better next time.
The crumb was OK. I always prefer to use my sourdough starter for bread, but this was a nice change. I've included the link to the recipe below.
