YEAH! My favorite. Once you beat a bread recipe into submission and learn to make it right every time, you won't go back to store bought.

I make exceptions for some of the chain baguettes which are par-baked and the store just finishes them, those are excellent, much better than I can do without a fancy oven.

Soups are a favorite here as well, considering the cats sometimes hide my teef.

It's taken me four months of trying, but by jove I think I've got it.

As for baguettes, give the dough a heavier kneading and pan them directly, without a first rising, in one of these babies:

Diagonal-slice the tops, preheat the oven to 500 and voila!

I don't have one of these pans yet, but a restaurant supply house should have them for about $20.

Apricot preserves and creamery butter....

arrrrrlgh!
