Challenge Four: Baguette

Ala,

Yesterday I made mini baguettes and pain de epi's (which is the same recipe but cut fancier!) I am pretty down at the moment and baking is helping me get my head straight. I am still yet to bake a big loaf so I think that is on the cards next. Nearly broke into the next dough section and make an olive dough. I am trying to be strict with myself as per completing the challenge so it will be white dough all the way until they are all done. I am still finding the method difficult and have since developed my own way,  I still get a good crumb so I am getting air into it but its definitely not what the book suggests! It kinda makes me look like a pizza maker, all in the air and flouncy...strange!

Anyway, we enjoyed these with roast pork and cider gravy.
