Think I'm gonna need a bigger baking tray if I want to make them longer and more rounded like real baguettes!
Hey, who took that bite?
I imagined our cheep electric oven wouldn't be sufficient to bake bread, but it turns out this is not the case and we can in fact now sell the bread maker/oven machine we bought a year ago. A good reminder that the simple ways are best.
I actually put two baguettes in the oven morning. One with a cover and one without, and it was immediately evident that the one without a cover was not as good, with a super crispy crust.
So am thinking to buy a baguette tray which fits into another tray.
Something like this.
Once in the oven it can be covered easily.
Producing three baguettes a day I will be able to give the other two away!
Or perhaps I'll start a baguette business as it wont be long before traditional flour becomes super expensive, leaving all these French bread addicts without any way to get their daily fix.
Let's see if they like acorn flour. Here we have hundreds of trees and a village full of people who don't know what to do with them ;)
Next I must buy a wooden bowl and I will be ready to wake up the 100 year old sour dough starter which was generously sent to me all the way from Canada by the lovely man that is 
I feel like I am ready now to take on the kind of responsibility which comes with a 100 year old starter and I believe this wonderful gift from afar will take the quality of my bread to the next level.
Love & Light everyone π±
