Oh, Detroit. Cold and grey and ghetto. Home, home, home. The place my recipe for French-style Lemon Cake actually works.
I've been working on making consistent baguettes. Ha! God, my life is so hard! Really, though. If the slashes are a bit too flat, the rise of the baguette is super weird and twisty making it look like a piece of driftwood. If the slashes are too shallow they vanish in the rise. Not to mention I still haven't decided on a baguette recipe and I can only make 14" loaves due to my stupid stone. Hm.
I've tried to keep better records off and on, but I'm realizing that I work so much better, happier, and faster if I let myself have a laissez-faire relationship with recipes. Just a few notes on when and how instead of a big worksheet of temperatures and weights... I think it's best.
