#baguette

Julia Child says I’m not letting my baguette dough rise long enough so I’m gonna ramp that up a lot which also means starting way earlier. Which is why no photos. I can’t do all the rising she does because if I do it can’t get done before #monsterdon and that’s not acceptable! Also I added the water a bit all at once which she also thinks is important? So it’s a bit wetter a dough but hopefully that’ll help with the rise. Same ingredients tho’. Also leaving everything else the same for easier comparison. #baking #Baguette

WAKEY WAKEY BAGUETTE BAKEY #baking #baguette

I’ve had better rises but let’s just send it #baking #baguette

SENT LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO #baking #baguette

maybe bagels next week, see how much I've forgot how to do with them too lol the reason i'm doing baguettes this week is because we have left over lasagne that we'll be eating with #monsterdon#baking #baguette

@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange it really is low-effort high-reward once you get into that groove, innit? once i started getting the right kind of crusts i really started understanding how this could be a meal. certainly lunch, or maybe even dinner, or part of it. Just yummy. #baking #baguette

@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange thanks! it's also super helpful for me, because i find this a way more reliable and better way for me to take notes - pictures, commentary, sometimes people even ask questions I didn't think to note about and that can come in handy later. baking is nice. i really like it. i _hate_ cooking, but somehow baking is just a whole different thing in my head and it's great. #baking #baguette

BUT ANYWAY baguettes are cooling tea is in the pot cheeses and preserves are in the fridge and the movie is in the hole now we just relax and wait for #monsterdon and that’s why sunday is the best day of the week. ^_^ #baking #baguette

you can hear the water dancing on the plate as it vapourises, the steam coming off the droplets making them bounce across the surface #baking #baguette

Really through all this the revolutionary thing is ditching the ice cubes in favour of pre-boiled so still-very-hot water and throwing _that_ onto a high-thermal-reserve pan crusts got dramatically more interesting as soon as I did that and i'm never going back #baking #baguette

I gave it an extra minute and maybe shouldn’t’ve but we’ll see i thought it was over a little last week and it wasn’t so will that be true again? (baking two did slow the oven a little) #baking #baguette

not halfway but nearing it #baking #baguette

since it’s two this week I’m going full 475F at full 15 minutes, i imagine the extra mass will slow the oven a tad (also still middle rack) #baking #baguette
