oh french baguette, you are a fickle bitch! sure this time around went better then last time, but i still fucked up a couple of important things, i apparently have an aversion to scoring my baguettes... nice. i popped the baguette in and then about 2 minutes later realized what i did, yanked the sucker out and tried to score it! smooth! i also set my fire alarm off... again. lame. that thing is SO obnoxious. boo to things falling onto the oven floor and burning, thus smoking like crazy. not cool. i also forgot to brush it with water before i popped it in the oven so the top wouldn't dry out whilst it was baking away... had to do that when i tried to score it! i am a hopeless case!
i will say that it looks much nicer then the first one, and i didn't burn the bottom of it like it did the first one... so that's another step in the right direction! right? hopefully it tastes better too, more airy and light then the last one... screwing up the yeast process seriously made the first way too dense. i guess the worst comes to worst and i will just have to try again!
