a baguette attempt and some loafs resting on my couch
This is one of my first attempts to bake a decent baguette in my 120 € oven (+stone) with the cheapest flour I could get here in Amsterdam.
This is the formula:
- 1000 g flour
- 750 g water
- 7 g fresh yeast
- 20 g salt
The mixing process was inspired by Richard Bertinet and I gave it a couple of stretch and folds before I put it into the fridge after 1,5 h after mixing for 48 hours. Then after giving it some strength dividing, shaping, proofing for 30 minutes. I am quite satisfied. It is everything but perfect and my oven doesn't really support me but I am pretty happy about the crumb. Taste could be improven by different prefermentation or T65 flour but the idea was to keep it simple.
Furthermore a couple of things that kept me busy the last two days...

jungnickel: Fantastic baguettes for a first attempt. You should have seen my first attempt....not worth posting, for sure! Love the other breads as well. It seems that your couch is a good staging area, but look out for the bread crumbs....Best, Phyllis
The baguettes look delicious. Well done and happy baking
I really look forward to what you can do in a well-equipped kitchen. You are obviously enough of a craftsperson that your limited tools are not an impediment to your skills.
Very nice breads.
Paul
of course you only post the stuff that goes well in the end, there is so much i would like to learn, but of course a well epuipped kitchen would be great, i am thinking to invest some money in a decent oven...
