Good morning everyone. I made very ugly baguettes. But they are supposed to be ugly. So that's ok.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Thank you! I just made two baguettes today following this method! 🥳

[–] moshankey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

But you made them. Still taste just as delicious. Enjoy.

They look delicious. If you want a fancier look, try scoring them with a sharp knife before you bake them, control a little where the tear happens. (You may know this already). Usually done with a bread lame, but any sharp knife will do, and after they are on their pan or parchment paper.

Normally I would have scored them. But they are supposed to be simply shaped by stretching and put in the oven.

This is the Five Minute Baguette recipe. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-husjZkxHw

I'll need to look at those. I've been making Paul Hollywood's baguettes here. https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/paul-hollywood-baguettes/

Edit: I watched the video, how does it taste?

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago
