Today's bake October 22,2018: San Joaquin Sourdough Baguettes

Profile picture for user dmsnyder

I haven't baked baguettes in ages. I'm not sure why. I baked a few today, including an epi de blé. It was very yummy with a bowl of bean and farro soup for lunch today.

The obligatory crumb photo. This is one piece of the epi.

Bean-Farro soup. I made this up for my vegetarian granddaughters. It was so good, I wrote down the recipe and have made it many times since.

I'm baking more sourdough multi-grain loaves tomorrow. 

Happy baking!

of TFL year's ago.  Lucy was comparing it to Zola Blue's take on Pierre Nury's Rustic Light Rye.  Both are still two of the great classic breads to be found anywhere but the SJSD is just a bit better when it comes to taste in our book.  Love the epi and the baggy - has to be tasty with all of that crust especially when dunking it that the farro/bean soup.  Well done and happy baking David!

Humble soup with great bread makes one feel pleasantly homely. They are what I miss after having a few fancy or heavy meals in a row.

Awesome crust and crumb as usual. I especially like baguettes shaped into epi de blé. They are much more sharing-friendly that way and they look more attractive to me admittedly :)
