Baguettes are probably the simplest of all breads with respect to the ingredients, FWSY.  But with so many variables such as %hydration, time and temp for rising, kneading, baking temp and time, moisture, well, the list goes on and on.  I poured my first attempt down the drain.  I now know not to do that.

Glad your first loaf came out looking good.
