Michael and I are making our own baguettes today. We're using the recipe from http://www.faire-son-pain.com/baguette-rustique
So far, so good. We have a ball of dough conforming to the description of "doesn't stick too much to the hands". Now two hours of rise time and we'll see what comes of it.
Here are some photos. Michael manned the flour additions - spooning flour onto my hands when the dough was really sticky. Then after it got less sticky, I let him knead the bread a bit! He liked kneading and then poking holes into the ball with his fingers.
Putting those little hands to work:
Smelling the bread....mmmm....yeasty goodness!
Look, Dad, dough ball!
