I made these the other day.  It had been quite awhile since I had made them and some friends were coming over.  Nothing says thank you for coming over like fresh baked bread!

I use this recipe.  http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/classic-baguettes-and-stuffed-baguettes/i-recipe

I like that recipe because it uses a starter.  A starter is where you use a portion of the flour water and yeast to get a head start on flavor.  You mix it up the night before and leave it out for the yeast to do its work.  In the morning it’s all bubbly and smells so good.  Then you throw it in with the rest of the flour, water, yeast, and salt to mix up the final dough.

We usually just slice it and put butter on it to eat it.  But it would be a great base for bruchetta or even sliced lengthwise for hoagies.

And yes, these are already gone.  =)
