These were my first baguettes using the formula and techniques described in the Bread Baking book that I mentioned previously. Yes, I realize that they do not look like baguettes. I got confused in the shaping step and decided to just make a rectangle and see what happened.
Most likely because I was too rough with the preshaping and shaping, the interior is dense. It isn't light and airy; it doesn't have a good crumb. The crust wasn't too bad, but it lacked a nice crunchy texture.
The taste wasn't bad. It was quite plain and definitely not flavorful, but with a slather of butter it made a good dinner companion.

Those look goooood. Despite the lack of airiness.
Mmm. Maybe when I'm Finished, I'll make some bread.
