    I mean, they look pretty good. Really hard to stay without looking at the crumb. The only recommendation I would make if you’re not already doing so is to experiment with a Long overnight cold proof in the fridge. It really does help with developing the overall flavor of the dough compared to a quicker bulk fermentation at room temperature.

    That’s some beautiful F$&@ing bread 😍

    These look really good! Was this a batch you made at work or home?

    Looks like 12 tips to me; they are on either end of each baguette, but can easily be missed. 😉

    Litterally tearing up rn, might be a gas leak(that’s besides the point), but those look beautiful, I’m open to any tips you have for me.

    Yes…send me a sample! They look sexy as hell!

    They look good! I don’t see much ear – the angle of the blade can really help there. Nice even cuts though

    I don’t want tips. I want some bread!

  11. MacSamildanach

    Those scores are beautiful! I’d love to know what hyderation level you used.

    Looks a bit like French bread baguettes rather than traditional baguette, but the consistency of shape and scoring is great!

    Hold your blade at a 45° angle (seriously) and score *downward not across* holding that 45° angle the whole way (seriously) also SCORE DEEPER I promise you need to go a lot deeper than you are right now to develop an ear

    If you divide the bread into 1/3 sections vertically (imagine lines) your scores should stay *strictly* within that middle 1/3. Enjoy 🙂

    Those are already looking your scoring is super clean.

  20. deltacharmander

    I advise you to send these to me so I can devour them

  21. Troesler95

    the tips are on both ends of the baguette. Hope this helps!

    These look beautiful and I’m sure they taste great, but they don’t look like baguette, more like brioche. Can you share a picture of a slice?

    Don’t let Kasane Teto see those, she’ll inhale them

  24. northshorehiker

    The shaping consistency makes me super jelly.

    Maybe dust them with flour before scoring? Just personal preferencem…
