This was the first loaf of bread I have ever kneaded by hand. I doubled the ingredients so that could make two large baguettes. I started making this in my kitchenaid, but during the kneading process it really started to groan, not wanting to cause any damage to be beloved machine I decided to continue by hand. The dough did feel a lot more dense than any other bread dough I have made, but I am no expert. I was a little concerned when the baguettes were on the baking tray, as they had not risen quite as much as I expected, I decided to put in the over anyway. I need not have worried the bread was just the right size when it came out and the bread made beautiful sandwiches, the inside was just perfect. I was a little disappointed that the crust was not as crunchy as expected, and to be honest a little soft. It was still a good baguette, I will just have to master my own technique on how to make the bread as crusty as the baguettes I was brought up on in France!
