Baguettes with Wheat Sourdough
For this recipe selection a portion of the flour is added in the form of sourdough. The baguettes look awesome from the enormous oven spring.
Taste-wise they lag behind the ones with a long and cool proof. For my next attempt I will try doubling the amount of sourdough, we’ll see if the taste is improved by doing so.
