Slow-Moe, wishes all my friends a very good morning.

For today's exercise, we have a double batch of extra long Baguettes.

Formula exceptions.

Since this is a double batch of relatively low hydration dough, I opted for the improved mix process. Rather than the more labor intensive rubaud hand mix.

300 g white whole wheat
