I baked banana bread and will start the baguettes tonight. It is an over night recipe.

The pdf helps (open office is no longer very open), thank you.

No sourdough starter here, but I also just started some dough for BF to shape into rolls. We are going to be carb-comaed soon.

Wild Yeast Baguettes

These crackly-crusted baguettes feature complex flavor, thanks to the addition of sourdough to the dough. While not particularly sour, their taste is rich and compelling.

View by: Volume Weight

* 1 cup sourdough starter, fed and ready to use
* 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
* 1 teaspoon instant yeast
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 5 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour


Directions

1) Combine all of the ingredients, kneading to form a smooth dough. If your sourdough is thin (thinner than a very thick pancake batter), you'll probably need to add more flour.

2) Allow the dough to rise, in a covered bowl, for 1 hour; then refrigerate overnight, up to about 18 hours.

3) Next day, divide the dough into 6 pieces.

4) Gently shape the dough into six 12" baguettes, and place them on two lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets; or into baguette pans. Cover and let rise until very puffy, about 3 hours. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 425°F.

5) Spray the loaves with lukewarm water.

6) Make three fairly deep diagonal slashes in each baguette; a serrated bread knife, wielded firmly, works well here.

7) Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, until it's a very deep golden brown. Remove the loaves from the oven, and cool on a rack.

Yield: six 13" baguettes.

I guess I just cannot do homemade bread well. I bought a bread maker and it came with a book of recipes and I can just pour everything in the pan and use the express button and have bread ready in an hour and it's good bread! I can also make jam and jelly in it in an hour and it's good. So I guess I cheat...

But I can't do it all other wise.

Do you have a windows, mac/apple or Linux machine?

I don't know the title of it nor remember his name but a guy I worked with bought several of the best selling bread makers and tested a whole bunch of recipes on each and modified the recipes to make good bread regardless of the machine and published the results in a book.

I be interested in finding out who wrote it. Maybe I'll do a little googling.

If you are using a tablet or smart phone, they you can get an easy office app.

I converted to a pdf which should have been opened using the free acrobat reader.

I also converted it to an rtf document which any word processor can open including the free ones on the PC. Apple computers are a little trickier but you can get iWork for free from the app store if you have os 10.7 and up.
