Two attempts at baguettes now, not good enough. Forkish doesn't go into it, I wonder about that. Could it be too difficult
with home equipment? My first attempt was a recipe online 65% hydration, I thought that was too low, and it turned out too dense. The second attempt was 70% and the crust was great but still not the holes I wanted. So next I suppose is 75%.
Those breads didn't suck just not what they were supposed to be.
This morning at 4 AM I missed adding salt, wow, bland bread. That didn't help! Never did that before. Still not a recipe I would try again, too dense. I know salt helps structure, but not that much.
Does anyone have a recipe for baguettes that would rival what I buy at good bakeries? I have been able to make boules
to rival them, there must be a way. I don't want a loaf of bread just in a different shape!
