Directions
Fresh Baguette, Make your kitchen into your own personal boulangerie with this fantastic bread recipe!, This recipe is so simple and has worked for me everytime. I prefer a softer crust so I just take the bread out earlier. I’ve also made buns with this recipe. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that the salt quantity is far too high. I find a quarter of what is asked for works great., I don’t see how I could add anything new to this review so I’ll just say….”What everybody else said!” Great recipe and thanks for sharing!
