15h • 🥖 Saturday Bake Along
I almost gave up…
I was ready to call it quits SEVERAL times with this one. From beginning to end, literally. After all the trouble I faced, I stared down already shaped loaves that looked flat and dead. I had come too far to give up at this point so I scored it (should’ve done it deeper but I was scared to) and popped it into the oven. She isn’t perfect but she persevered. Somewhat proud of my first baguette. Overall this failure felt like a small success. I didn’t include the picture of the other one because it was shaped like an amoeba. But anyways, Here are all of my goof ups:
1.) AP Flour (oops I did it again)
2.) Dough ripped on last coil (probably because of the first goof up)
3.) No Baking Stone
4.) No Parchment Paper
5.) Put oven at 500° and put a painted bread loaf dish filled with water in there (Alexa play Fire by the Ohio Players) while nothing caught on fire the paint did burn and emit fumes and smoke but I did replace the dish with a regular one
6.) Was afraid of what happened at no.5 so I baked my baguette on 475° the entire time
7.) Couldn’t keep my eyes off the bread so I ended up cleaning the kitchen AFTERWARDS instead of while it was baking. Went to sleep late.
The bread was still hot when I took these photos so forgive the less than fancy setup.
