Kate, you have inspired me. I keep forgetting there is a KAB school out here in WA, about 90 minutes away. I’m looking at classes and may do a baguette class if I can find a good day. I have a pan and I’ve made them before, but I’m quite sure I have LOTS of room for improvement.
I'm so thrilled you had the chance to come bake with us, Kate! Ryan is a wonderful teacher and we're so lucky to have him here in VT with us. It's an honor to be a trusted resource for your baking adventures and I can't wait to hear more about your journey to beautiful baguettes. Happy baking! -Morgan
Thanks for this delightful romp! But you will never convince me that making bread is “easy.” I have only ever made bricks that don’t rise, every single time I try.
I miss the nisu (Finnish sweet bread) my grandmother made. While I enjoy baguettes, and liked your piece about making them, and agree that King Arthur is the best, if you knew how to make good nisu you would deserve worship.

Excellent! Let us know how it goes!
So envious!
Do it Marni! It's so great!
Now I'm craving BREAD!!!

OK yes. Fair. It's easy if you have time, patience, and good instructions. I can help you out!

I will bear that in mind.
Aaand... how do the baguettes turn out in your home oven? For me, that's always the tricky part.
P.S. Now you gotta try cheesemaking next!
Agreed. I'm scheming all kinds of ways to make my oven hot and steamy and rework the timing of my sourdough etc. But first we gotta eat those loaves!
Ooh do you make cheese?
You mean you wrote that post before you ate the bread?! Either you're a fast writer or a slow eater, ha!
Yes, I make cheese, and teach cheesemaking. It's total magic. (Milkslinger on YouTube)
