My first baguette

About a week before Thanksgiving, I tried a baguette recipe from 100 Great Breads.My plan was to use the loaf for provolone and veggie sausage sandwiches. I screwed up the bread recipe a little so the result was not baguette shaped.Not to worry, though. It was an excellent, firm dough, very flavorful and easy, with minimal kneading and labor (one reason I picked it). The sandwiches didn’t pan out — we can’t find our preferred brand of Italian sausage around here any more and the substitute I tried was way too heavy on the fennel. Still, slices from the baguette made an excellent snack.
